Musicians Institute Scholarship
Hello! I am a music Instructor from India currently living in LA. With over 15 years experience performing and being a student of music myself, I have helped start music school in India and have been an educator and mentor to many young musicians for over 6 years now. I believe in teaching methods designed to get the student interested themselves in every musical concept and style. Learning through fun innovative modern ways and keeping the students always engaged and excited is my main mantra. When im not teaching, I compose and write music for Film, TV and games!
I started teaching at an early age of 18, having always been someone adept at explaining difficult things to understand very easily, i quickly grew to becoming the Assistant director of Music at a school by helping out with forming curriculum, building custom lesson plans for different students. I would then go on to teach at various different schools, both private and public through non profts to share my methods and to ensure students get the right education through fun ways. It has been over 10 years since i first started teaching and I have been updating my curriculum and lesson plans since!
I believe in getting the student interested in the concepts and styles themselves, i like to introduce them to different ways of playing and my main method is to show them how it can be exciting to play/learn. For eg, for someone who loves games, I would show them how to play chords and melody ( on a piano ) at the same time by using the ‘ Minecraft ‘ theme song as an example, or any game that they might know and enjoy so it gets them interested to want to play and learn, through that i will show them dfferent techniques and concepts, this way they are already enjoying what they are learning and at no point will not want to practice it on their own.
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. I have also designed many musical games that are fun and help students remember things better. With every student I put together a custom lesson plan that is designed to show yardsticks and milestones for the student in how they are moving forward with their instrument.
