Ross plays and teaches solo acoustic guitar music.

Based on classical fingerstyle techniques, Ross teaches beginners to advanced students. He teaches a variety of styles from Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, as well as Contemporary, Jazz, Popular and World Music influences.

Ross teaches the Trinity Guildhall exam syllabus grades 1 to 8. He also arranges and composes music for his students to play.

Ross's teaching aim is to help students to develop a technique and to put together a set of performance pieces that the student can evolve and play to the highest level that they can. This is the experience of playing something well, no matter how simple or complex the piece. The student can play for enjoyment, for themselves, or to share with an audience.

Ross teaches from his home studio in the North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand

Below is a study for classical guitar by Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841), as an example of the pieces Ross teaches.
