Online tutoring works best after an initial face to face consultation has taken place where a rapport has been achieved. Online lesson are priced at the same £30 per hour.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Songwriting is all about being honest. It's such a rewarding freedom to get those emotions out of your soul, onto the page and then out to audiences. I want to hear "you", not who you want to be. Songwriting can be an anarchy, a contradiction, there's no real set patterns. What works once may not work again. Some songs are almost "god given". They'll appear out of nowhere and be done and dusted in 5 minutes, some songs take years (where the basic idea is great but the state of mind isn't quite right to complete the work). We'll look into all of this. Songwriting can be happy and fun but also the saddest, most cathartic experience. A history, a document of time in your life.
