My teaching methods are constantly evolving and utilise all the latest advances in technology to maximise student progression, while also adapting the lessons to suit each student. The top priority in the lessons is to develop each student as an independent musician and I place a high emphasis on sight-reading, timings and technique all from an early stage. Within the first few lessons, students will be learning parts of music by themselves and playing at the same time as metronome and audio tracks.
A crucial benefit of this method is that most of the learning can be done by the student at home, which allows an accelerated learning progress (as long as the student does a sufficient amount of work in between lessons).
Although my teaching approach can be considered intensive, I ensure that my students are motivated and enjoy playing their instrument. In addition to the inclusion of games for the younger students, I can also supply versions of any piece of music, specifically tailored to the students’ interests and level.
My approach is not suitable for those who cannot commit to continuous practice, or those who prefer a traditional approach.
