My approach to teaching

Relaxed and encouraging. Very patient and good with children.

Very happy for parents to sit in as it helps with home practice.

Learning to play well means requires a fair bit of practice and I will suggest techniques to get the most out of the time you put in. Key to this is never practice your mistakes and always adopt good technique.

Posture and technique is taught, along with how to read music effectively (there are tricks to this).

Some knowledge of music theory is helpful, especially with understanding patterns, keys, useful scales and arpeggios etc.

I don't clock watch, so if a lesson needs a bit more time then you w ill get it.

I can demonstrate everything that I teach you.

We can record or video key things if you like. The studio has recording facilities.

Good coffee available for parents and adult learners!
