“I started at Phil’s Method in 2006, and it completely opened my world. From day one, the supportive tutors made me feel at home, teaching me guitar fundamentals and giving me the freedom to explore genres I never thought possible. Today I’m playing in bands on national radio and releasing music videos—thanks to the confidence and skills I gained here.”
Cornel Viljoen, Radio-Featured Guitarist
“Phil’s Method laid the foundation for my passion for guitar. Over two transformative years, I honed my technique under expert guidance, which launched a decade-long journey sharing stages with acts like Fokofpolisiekar and Karen Zoid. Their mentorship inspired me to deepen my craft and ultimately become a mentor myself.”
Elard Bronhorst, Founder of Defy Theory
“Phil’s Method gave me a fresh appreciation for musicianship, expanding my skills from piano into drums and guitar. Their hands-on, non-traditional approach exposed me to new musical perspectives and great musicians—insights I still draw on and learn from every day.”
Dean Barrett, Multi-Instrumentalist & Educator
“It’s hard to sum up what I learned from Phil: from essential theory to guitar solos that gave me the confidence to carve my own path. My first live show and studio recording with them became pivotal moments in my career, leading me to perform with internationally acclaimed artists. Their encouragement has been invaluable.”
