Guitar Lessons
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: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
