I first began teaching before enrolling to university 5 years ago and have taught ever since. Throughout my experience as a teacher I have come across many different students of all ages and abilities, all who learn in various differenent ways. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to the student and find the best way for them to progress addressing their strengths and limitations and being able to progress to increase the strengths and overcome the obstacles. I create a empatetic and enjoyable enviroment that caters to beginners and the advanced.

For a beggining student the main focus is to have an enjoyable experience whilst acheiving the fundamental elements required to play the guitar. By focussing on the music they enjoy incorporated with some of the techniques required to play the instrument their growth becomes apparent quickly. As they progress on the instrument we start to dig deeper into the techniques and theory behind the music they love whilst introducing them to new things. As they grow into more intermediate players I encourage them to perform live in an area which they enjoy whether its whith a band or ensemble, solo or orchestra.  For advanced students I allow them to choose which areas of music they would like to pursue and we dig deep into the technical, theoretical and conceptual elements of that music.
