For example: popular music (rock, pop, soul, jazz, classical). Teaches (almost) all genres, but specialises in classical music.
Your first lesson will start with a brief chat, to introduce yourself to the teacher and also get to know her. You will be encouraged to talk about your passion and experience with music as well as for the reasons why you are interested in taking lessons. During the chat, you will let the teacher know what you need and what you would like to learn.
Beginners are very welcome!!
