Christian Laki

Welcome To Broadway Bass & Guitar Lessons!

My name is Christian Laki, and I am an award-winning composer, musician, music tutor, and academic based in Ultimo, Sydney with over 45 Years of musical experience!

I offer individually tailored music lessons in the following areas and more:

• Bass Guitar
• Electric & Acoustic Guitar
• Steel Guitar & Lap Steel
• Classical Guitar
• Flamenco & Latin American Guitar
• Manouche (gypsy jazz) Guitar
• Renaissance Lute
• Singing
• Piano & Keyboard
• Song Writing
• Arranging & Orchestration
• Music Technology
• Music Production
• Orchestral Composition
• Film & Media Composition
• Music Theory & Musicianship

Currently undertaking a Doctor of Creative Arts in orchestral composition at Western Sydney University (commenced 2024)/ Doctor of Musical Arts at Sydney Conservatorium of Music (transfer in progress), I draw on over three decades of experience as a musician, composer, and educator. My research and creative practice aim to extend contemporary orchestral writing, informed by my diverse background in jazz, rock, classical, and film music. Early in my doctorate, I was awarded the 2024 Penrith Symphony Orchestra Composition Prize, leading to a commissioned symphonic work commemorating the Bondi Junction tragedy.

As a professional musician since 1992, I have composed and performed across multiple genres and contexts, from television and film to concert halls. My career includes international broadcasts of my compositions, film scoring, jazz collaborations, and early music performance. I have also taught students of all ages in composition, performance, and songwriting across instruments and styles.

My teaching philosophy centres on fostering creativity and individuality. Students are free to choose the instruments, songs, and styles of music that they wish to pursue. I believe that following one’s musical passions is the best path to excellence, and I nurture those interests with the support of sound technique, theory, and well-researched performance and compositional practices.

Holding a Master of Music (AIM) and Bachelor of Music (UNSW), I bring both academic depth and industry experience. Highlights include editing László Dubrovay’s 2021 treatise on contemporary composition, scoring the internationally recognised short film Little Lies, and having original songs featured on SBS’s Pizza.

Lessons are held in my air-conditioned studio located at 185-211 Broadway, Ultimo, opposite the Broadway Shopping Centre. Street parking is available as well as in the shopping centre parking station. My studio is a short walk from central station or there is a bus right to my door!
