Joshua Li
Joshua is a professional composer, sound designer, and contemporary multi-instrumentalist based in Melbourne. Specialising in contemporary guitar accompaniment and the singer-songwriter style, he brings a modern, results-oriented industry perspective to the studio. His creative practice spans independent artistry, commercial sound production, and original scoring for film and animation, helping students bridge the gap between technical skill and authentic self-expression.
His educational approach focuses on functional, chord-based accompaniment and practical musicianship. Joshua specialises in mentoring students through the process of vocal accompaniment—teaching guitarists how to dynamically support their own voice, master rhythmic precision, and build performance confidence. Rather than adhering to rigid, purely academic structures, his lessons are highly personalised to unlock creative independence, guiding students through practical songwriting, arrangement, and music theory.
Whether teaching children taking their first steps on the instrument or adults looking to refine their songwriting voice, Joshua provides an engaging, supportive environment that treats every student as an evolving artist.
Lessons with Joshua are highly inclusive and accessible to Melbourne’s culturally diverse communities. He is completely fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and offers bilingual instruction for students interested in contemporary Western pop, acoustic styles, and Chinese popular music (C-Pop).
