About

Hi, I am Malcolm, and through Cool Gool Music I communicate love via music! My love to see you my student continually improve in how to communicate your inner feelings on your instrument, regardless of your preferred style.

I teach guitar, ukulele, bass guitar, and music harmony & theory for any instrument (not only guitar/bass/uke).

Malcolm is an excellent guitarist and professional teacher. He helped me grow a lot in the 2 years that I had him as my teacher. Starting from being an absolute beginner on the guitar, I'm much more comfortable with learning songs and improvising in the key of the songs I would like to learn. The knowledge I gained from him benefitted not only my guitar playing, but other areas of my life too. I would highly recommend his services as a teacher! More...

Malcolm is great. He’s an effective teacher who cares about you both improving and enjoying the guitar. He is direct, in a good way, so you’re always clear in what you need to do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Mr. M. Callus is a great teacher who loves guitar and shares this with his students. He finds a way to build relationship with students of different age and background, explains the lesson in funny and creative way. He can adapt to your learning pace, but also pushes to improve. As an adult student having other responsibilities and limited time to practise, I appreciate his understanding and flexibility. I have been priviledged to attend Mr. M. Callus guitar classes for the past year! More...

Malcolm is a very professional guitar teacher. Every lesson is filled with valuable information and useful tips on how to take your guitar skills to the next level. I got the first 5 lessons as a gift from my friend and was happy to continue after because I really enjoyed his teaching style which is easy to follow and understand. Malcolm always has a solution to any difficulty and always finds a way to motivate and inspire you! Thank you! More...

I started with 'Cool Gool' to finally learn guitar. I'm a trained musician (piano, brass), and I can play by ear. I messed around with guitar but wanted to finally play properly. Malcolm's approach is strong on technique, but you soon see the purpose - follow his method and put in some effort, and you'll be equipped with the skills to make your own music! It works.I know music, and I'm very demanding of myself. But I recently recorded myself, and I was surprised. That's me? I now honestly feel like I can actually play! I'm having more fun than ever and I continue to improve.In short, if you want to learn to play, call Malcolm! More...

I've been studying with Malcolm for over two years now and can highly recommend his lessons. I had a very, very basic understanding of the guitar when I started and Malcolm helped me use that to get up to grade 5 fairly quickly. Although I've slowed down a little recently due to other commitments, I plan to continue studying and hope to move up to grade 6 and beyond in 2015. If you're looking to get started, or to improve your technique, then I'd certainly recommend lessons with Cool Gool. More...
