A group of about 20 Riverside Christian College and Urangan State High School students gathered in a music room at Riverside for a special interactive performance by the former Australian Idol winner just hours before he entertained again at the Brolga Theatre last night.
He said the school performance aimed to give advice he wished he had known when he was a teenager.
"I'm hoping to cover three or four different topics: how to progress, make money and how to develop as an artist," Mr Leith said.
"When I was 16 and starting out in music I made a lot of mistakes and I wish I'd had a mentor to guide me, so that's what I'm trying to do."
The musician said, "Know yourself, what you're getting into and know what you want to get out of it."
Mr Leith will conclude his tour tonight after performing at QPAC in Brisbane

. Damien is so great at helping young musicians. This is something he does in his studio and his live performances on tour. We've all seen so many young folk being presented by Damien.
