Advanced musician teaches beginner, intermediate and advanced-level acoustic and bass guitar skills.

Methodology

The first lesson will always be an opportunity to meet the student, and hear what their ideas and hopes are for learning. I will always make a note of everything that the student intends to gain from music lessons. During the first lesson the number of lessons desired will also be discussed and established. I will also use the time to understand the level of competence you currently have in the chosen instrument.

When you arrive for the second lesson the tutor (myself) will provide you with a work schedule that matches the number of lessons requested and my suggestions for what can be achieved during the time period requested.

If the student agrees with the work plan I arrange and is happy to follow it, we then proceed with the work plan given by me to the student right through to the completion of our tuition together.

Along the way, students (or myself) might have ideas that can add or alter the original plan, so its a flexible document, not set in stone, but the general idea is to follow through with the scheme of work originally presented to the student in the second lesson. That way, by the time the tuition period is over, both I and the student can reflect on progress made, goals achieved, goals not achieved, areas of particular difficulty, before discussing the next steps in the student's learning journey, and whether or not they wish to continue their tuition experience with myself, move to a different tutor, or try learning on their own for a while.
