Angus Barry

Angus is a skilled and versatile guitarist with over 7 years of experience, currently studying a Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium. In that time, he has performed at venues across Australia with a variety of bands, worked as a session musician, and earned a reputation as a thoughtful and engaging guitar teacher. His students appreciate his calm, encouraging manner and his ability to adapt lessons to their individual pace and style.

Angus believes that the key to mastering an instrument lies in strong guidance, a shared passion for music, and a lifelong curiosity to learn. This belief shapes his teaching philosophy — one that fosters growth through a stress-free, hands-on environment where students feel empowered to make the instrument their own.

He has a strong foundation in both acoustic and electric guitar and is well-versed in alternate tunings, open tunings, ear training, improvisation, and music production. His diverse musical background allows him to cater to a wide range of styles, from blues, rock, reggae, and jazz, to shoegaze, ambient, metal, and punk.

Angus’s flexibility and open approach make him an excellent fit for students of all ages and skill levels — whether they’re learning to craft expressive solos, improve their technique, or simply build a repertoire of songs to enjoy at home. He also has a growing interest in music therapy and the healing potential of music, which informs his compassionate and holistic teaching style.

No matter your goals, Angus is committed to helping you build a deeper connection to music and grow into a confident, expressive musician.
