Anthony also possesses a Working With Children Check (WWCC) from the Victorian Department of Justice and enjoys teaching guitar to children and teenagers. He uses several techniques to engage primary school children who may have trouble playing certain things on guitar such as 6 string chords instead by simplifying them down to 3 strings with 1 or 2 fingers to get them started. For high school and teenage students Anthony ensures that the students are working on music that they know and enjoy to keep them motivated and interested in playing and practicing the guitar.
