Do you have a personal message for students?
My teaching style is focused on tailoring the lessons to the students needs-, as every student is different. Subjects such as basic technical skills and understanding of music theory is essential but i wish to try and engage students by making the relationship between the theoretical and the practical as clear as possible. I am happy to concentrate on the approach of teaching via Grades and other qualifications but can also concentrate on studying the music and particular songs that the student is interested in (outside of Examinations), my main aim is to ensure the student is enjoying the process and learning practically!
