As mentioned above, I like to begin with basic theory. Once the student has grasped the basic concept of half and full steps, major and minor note, flats and sharps, we can start practicing some tunes.

Parallel to the theory and exercises, we will begin with the major chord finger positions, and then progress to minors, etc.. Read More

As mentioned previously, my Philosophy is this: think like a learner so that learners are able to learn from someone who thinks like them. I like to start my lessons from the very beginning which is tuning the instrument, so that the instrument sounds good. To me music is about 10% technicality and 90% feeling.

This will result in repeating lessons, which I avoid at all costs. Read More
