In 1969 Len Williams, who established the London Spanish Guitar Centre, established the Sydney Spanish Guitar Centre. It was here that Jean-Pierre Antaki began his tuition and taught from 1980 to 1989 before establishing a successful international career. In 2001 Jean-Pierre returned to Australia and rebuilt the school in Sydney under the name 'The Academy of Spanish Guitar'.
Our teachers will bring out and hone your abilities in a relaxed and positive way. In the end though, as with any skill, the more you practice the better you'll be, but our focus is to make you want to practice - so that practicing is never a chore.
The syllabus, designed by Len Williams and Jean-Pierre Antaki, aims to take you from beginner level to as far as you want to go in the most direct way possible, with a repertoire from the late renaissance to the present day.
Jean-Pierre is the Founder, Director and Principal Teacher of The Academy of Spanish Guitar. He is currently living in Europe and is conducting most of his lessons via Zoom and Skype.
