HOW I TEACH
I like to get to know the student, understand your goals & the music you are interested in, also if you have any previous playing experience & your style of learning. With this I can tailor lessons to meet your specific needs.
I will help you develop a solid technique & a great understanding of how music works.
Everything we do will have a purpose in the fulfilment of your goals, but most importantly, have fun.
I teach a broad range of styles including: Rock, Pop, Jazz, Country, Blues, Classical & Electronic Music.
Learning needs to be fun!
This is what I bring to my lessons to help guide students through learning an instrument. I regularly incorporate games & puzzles into a lesson, this helps make the whole experience as entertaining as it is rewarding.
We will do confidence building challenges while making sure not to over burden you with too much information, all at once.
I will pay close attention to your posture so you feel comfortable at all times, there is nothing worse than being challenged & feeling uncomfortable as well!
As a multi-instrumentalist, singer song writer & producer, I have a unique approach to teaching.
You will get a chance to explore not only your own instrument, but also the many instruments I have at my studio. This will give you a well rounded approach to music & increases your skill set. Each lesson I will accompany you on another complementary instrument such as the drums, guitar or bass. Not only will this help to keep you in time, but will give you a real world experience of playing with other instruments & again, is lots of fun!
I also offer the exploration of modern technology such as drum machines, synthesisers, computer recording software, midi, sequencing & mixing. I will give you the opportunity to write & record compositions during the lessons, giving you understanding of basic recording techniques & a fully mixed professional sounding song. I also give industry advice on how you can share your compositions with the rest of the world via the internet and maintain copyright.
