My teaching style is focussed very much on what the student wishes to learn. Having a set guide pf progression is necessary but not when forced upon. My style involves exploring music together, understanding the thought process behind different pieces of music and applying concepts in fun innovative ways.

A practical and usable knowledge of music's fundamentals is employed to get results and keep the student motivated and actively learning. Read More
