In 2004 Rupert graduated with First Class Honours from the Bachelor of Music degree at the Australian National University School of Music, where he studied with Australiaâs renowned guitarist Timothy Kain. Later that year he moved to the United States to undertake a Masterâs degree at the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied with David Leisner.
