HI THERE,
MY NAME IS
BONNIE MACKINNON

Teaching people how to play music is the best job in the world ...
I really love it.


Here at Studio Inkyblue, I'm deeply committed

to helping my students find joy in their music

and become the best musician

that they can be.

​​

My student-led approach has helped me refine and develop a carefully structured framework, catering to your

specific ability but also allowing for freedom with a personalised program.

​

When you play music, it connects you to other people

... or it calms you down

... or it helps you to focus

... or heals your wounds

... or makes you feel energised.

'There are so many benefits to playing music and it can be whatever you need it to be.

​

Guitar has to be one of the most versatile instruments on the planet.

I would love to help you to find a way to play that suits you best .
