Bob has just the right balance of a relaxed environment to learn an instrument
combined with an expectation that I practice what I learn. I want to push myself
to practice more after each tuition with Bob and make good progress for the next
week. Bobs method of learning the instrument and homework has made all the
difference for me and you cant get the sort of expertise and correction you
need from the internet.
I highly recommend Bob.

Was given a gift certificate and it took me 6 months or so to build up courage
to contact Bob. I am still kicking myself for missing all that time.If only my
singing would improve as good as my uke playing .Looking forward to this year,
thanks Bob I can now carry my uke with pride.Harry McCallum (posted on the wifes

Ive enjoyed every minute of my year with EBS. Bob is a brilliant teacher, and
motivator. Often when Ive not had time to practice much, Ive felt a bit
flat. But after my lesson, Im all fired up to go, thanks to Bobs
encouragement, and motivation.
Highly recommend EBS.

passion for music. He has a very professional & thorough knowledge of his
craft which he has a great skill being able to pass on to all levels of
students/muso's . very quick on tailoring a learning package suitable for all
levels.
Highly recommend with no hesitation.
Thanks for sharing your skills on !!!

Bob is an excellent teacher, that's for sure. I came to him with zero knowledge
about guitar playing only that I enjoy watching and listening to those who play
guitar. Three months now with him, I've learned so much I was able to play at a
family Christmas party.
I have no hesitation to recommend Bob to anyone who dares to learn any musical
instrument.

I am 56 and have been playing guitar for 30 years with many bad habits. Bob has
shown me over the last 2 years you are never too old to learn new ones. He is
very flexible with my lessons due to my shift work. He motivates me and
encourages me to improve each week giving me the confidence I never had. Bob is
not only a teacher but has now become a friend as his was very supportive during
some difficult band issues.
I am looking forward to exciting times ahead in 2018 and Bobs plans for the
business.
Highly recommend EBS.
Bob is genius of a teacher. He has many years of teaching, playing and making music and, is a true multi-instrumentalist. The area in which Bob stands out the best is in his ability to assess a student's requirements and ability and, tailor a program to suit the student - there is no standard syllabus. He is also a no BS teacher hence he is best when you are serious about what you want to learn.
My 9 year old son Aaron was
trying to learn the guitar on you tube when we discovered he had an interest.
Fortunately we found Bob. Bob has helped Aaron turn his interest into a
passion for learning the guitar. Aaron has learnt so much in such a short
period of time.
Bob's style of teaching is amazing and he has given Aaron so much confidence
in playing the guitar. I can speak very highly of Bob's well structured and
fun filled teaching regime.
I would highly recommend Bob for anybody wishing to learn an instrument from
beginner to more experienced.
I'm 54 and have always regretted not making the effort to learn guitar . I saw a post by Bob advertising lessons and i guess the timing was right it flicked a switch and i made the effort .im so glad i did and so grateful for Bob, his patience ,encouragement and teaching method. 6 lessons and im playing for chords, albeit badly but im doing it and loving it thank you very much Bob you are a genius .
\
Where do I even begin, I hit the jackpot when I found Bob as my guitar teacher. I walked in thinking I knew how to play 3 chords and Bob saw right through my bad habits. Bob is a sensational teacher who personalises his lessons to suit the person, making every lesson fun and educating you as to why you need to do the practise, he doesn't just teach you songs you want to play, he takes it back and teaches you the fundamentals needed to play guitar. I walk out of every lesson inspired to learn more. Bob is one of the rare teachers who is actually all about helping you succeed in learning to play your instrument. Bob even went and tried out my new guitar before I purchased it, making sure I was getting the right guitar for my needs. I would recommend Bob to everyone as he is a sensational teacher!
A fanstastic teacher, Bob Meridith has taught my oldest son how to play the guitar and also teaches my other son the Saxophone. Throughout the years I have seen my children advance from beginners to decent musicians, all thanks to Eaten by Snakes Education! More namely Bob Meridith! An amazing teacher you are Bob. Thank you for your efforts!
I have been taking lessons with Bob for nearly a year now. As an older student (>50), I find Bob adapts his teaching style to extract the most he can from me. He coaches and teaches and pushes and challenges. In my opinion, he uses very sound teaching methods and ensures the building blocks are in place to create a solid foundation to move to the next level.
As a pro muso, he brings a lot of practical experience to the sessions. I enjoy learning some of the "real world" knowledge he shares that has been gleaned from years of band experience.
Highly recommend EBS if you want to get some serious music skills and knowledge.

After having a decent amount of skills, but no real direction; I decided that this year I would finally get some guitar lessons. After starting and stopping a couple of times in the past, I definitely have not regretted getting lessons with Bob.
I have used different guitar teaching methods and computer programs to learn guitar, but nothing beats the one-on-one time that a teacher such as Bob can offer you. I also appreciate the time Bob takes to explain the different aspects of music. Teaching a student in a well-rounded manner, rather than teaching how to hammer out some nuanced part of a complex guitar track makes better sense. I want to learn how to play guitar so I can play songs, not just learn technical skills.
Bob tailors lessons to specific needs, he sets realistic goals each week for practice which are achievable. This is also important for someone that works full-time as a teacher.
If you have never seen a guitar before or have some faculty with the instrument, I would definitely recommend getting lessons with Bob. The only thing you will regret is that you didn't do it sooner.

Bob is a nononsense teacher who is keen to give you a solid foundation. Definitely recommend him as a Guitar teacher. (He also does a heap of other instruments including but not limited to the Mandolin, Ukulele and Saxophone)I've learnt a lot more in the last few weeks than I have in the few years I taught myself.

Bob is very intuitive to my daughters needs (and moods). His lessons are fun and flexible, yet tough when
they need to be. I am amazed at my daughters progress in a relatively short time.
Blake Crowfoot 5 star
Highly recommend, I tried learning guitar by myself for years but lost interest very quickly, came to Bob and around 6 months
later I am able to play many chords as well as many songs which I never thought possible.
5 star
Highly recommended. My husband and I have 2 sons going to lessons.
One aged 10 is learning bass guitar and the other aged 11 is learning alto Sax.
We have found Bob to be extremely professional and takes the time to understand the different
stages of knowledge and skill the boys have. The boys have attended 4 lessons and have progressed well,
enjoyed their lessons and are enthusiastic.
As parents, we are also comfortable that Bob has a current working with children check verification.

Hi there, I'm a 51 year young fella who has never played an instrument in his life. I bought a Mandolin for
my 50th birthday and tried to teach myself to play it - I didn't last long, got bored and didn't touch it for
about a year. I found Bob on Gumtree, he just happens to have started giving classes in my area and
he is fantastic! a very patient, calm and happy bloke who shares his guitar and mandolin knowledge
effortlessly. Finally I can play some cords and play to music, and my family can hear me getting better
all the time. I am very thankful to have found Bob and would definitely recommend him to anyone
wishing to learn Guitar, Mando, Uke and a few more. Cheers Mark
