Suzuki Method Guitar Lessons available in Wellington Central!
Royden Smith
I am a graduate of Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music, having completed my Bachelor of Music (First Class Honours) in Classical Guitar. I grew up surrounded by music and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for guitar. My lessons cater to each child and focus on encouragement, enjoyment and ensuring progress.
Since graduating, I have continued training towards my New Zealand Suzuki Institute qualifications and I am motivated to bring Suzuki guitar back to Wellington and thrive in the community.

Suzuki Method
Royden’s Suzuki Guitar Studio follows the pedagogy of Dr Shinichi Suzuki, providing a nurturing environment that develops the whole child, through music. Suzuki discovered that all Japanese children are able to speak Japanese with relative ease. By creating a respectful and nurturing environment, any range of ability, discipline, and beauty within every child, can be cultivated to ultimately improve the human condition, whether it be language acquisition, or learning to play an instrument.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
