Across more than four and a half decades John has inspired thousands of students, from beginners in Year 6, right through to advanced tertiary students, many of whom have gone on to enjoy successful careers as professional musicians and teachers. John's most notable students include classical-FM chart topping artist Craig Ogden, Dr Jonathan Padget, Milica Davies (née Ilic), Ruth Lenz and Nathan Sinclair. John, who taught himself electric guitar before falling in love with classical guitar, pioneered the development of the classical guitar group tuition program that is still taught in WA Schools today and has led many guitar ensembles including the UWA School of Music Guitar Ensemble and Guitarstrophe! which he founded in 1974. John was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from UWA in 2005 in recognition of his services to teaching and mentoring in WA.

Shakespeare and the electric guitar with James Ledger	I was commissioned to write a work for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. The resultant work "Hollow Kings", is a four-movement work that explores and responds to speeches given by four of Shakespeare's kings. The orchestration includes electric guitar. I thought of this instrument as a modern-day lute, an instrument that was symbolically significant in the Elizabethan era. In the work, I have drawn parallels with the modern-day instrument and it's ancestor through references in Shakespeare's plays.	5-6pm Tues Sept 6	Tunley Lecture Theatre (G05) School of Music University of WA Crawley
