- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I can work with you to prepare for any upcoming performances.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
You can access online tutoring (and I do use online tools in my practice), but in my experience, the magic of being in a room, working out and discussing any questions with a human being is the best way to learn.
Parents – the teaching of music to children has proven beneficial effects. Performance in core subjects improves and their social and imaginative lives are enhanced.
Adults – playing for fun, acquiring a new skill is great, and if you are becoming more serious about guitar playing I can offer great advice on the business of music.
