- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
Graded ABRSM or Trinity exams on request.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Understanding the students direction is essential and that includes giving options to help them best choose their path. My focus is on creating disciplined but fun lessons to make sure the progress being made by the student is appropriate and that they understand why they are doing what they are doing. I'm always looking for new books, methods and exercises to keep the lessons fresh with a focus to concentrate on the students interests.
I introduce listening exercises with the use of instruments to get a grasp of improvisation and relative pitch training. It becomes a fun and recurring part of each lesson and the skills adapted are invaluable.
I'm a very dependable person and enjoy building relationships with new students. I'm always enthusiastic about playing music and love creating that buzz when students are just as excited about music too!
