"Studying at SA music institute under Gerrie Pansegrouw revolutionized my musical abilities! In 1 year I was able to learn things that people who get a degree in music didn't even know, weren't able to grasp or do. I learnt that the guitar is a pit of endless sounds and creativity. In a sense I enrolled with Gerrie blind to what could be done through music. Blind to the powerful possibilities in music. After studying with Gerrie my mind was finally opened to the amazing world of music and I haven't stopped exploring since."

Hi my name is Raymond I studied at SAMI in 2006 with Gerrie Pansegrouw for a year and it changed my guitar playing drastically and moulded me into the guitar player I am now. I toured the US for 4 year with a band called the absent and am currently playing for local artists such as Karlien van Jaarsveld, Ghapi and other local acts. I can recommend Gerrie as one of the best and professional guitarists and teachers out there!”
