Bryce Leader was born and raised in Sydney, Australia where he commenced guitar lessons at the age of nine. Upon graduating from high school, he studied at Newcastle Conservatorium and was awarded a Bachelor of Music Education and Associate Diploma in Music, Australia (AMusA) in Classical Guitar. His interests in the guitar extend to the Jazz, Rock and Country genres where he is also an active participant. Bryce spent some time as a classroom music teacher but has, since 1988 been teaching guitar as a fulltime profession. Always looking for new ways to engage his students, Bryce came up with the idea of the Copy, play and Learn Method in 2010 and as a result, the numbers of young guitarists under his tutelage have increased dramatically.
