I hold the Australian AMUSA and Grade eight theory, (Australian standard) and BA. My students have ranged from beginner to intermediate, ages five to forty, with a strong emphasis on beginners. I have taught in London UK, Canada and Australia. My students benefit from encouragement and discipline, and although I believe it is important to tailor lessons to my students current needs, especially adults, I encourage them to prepare for RC examinations and ear training. The freedom they receive from learning improvisation skills and developing site-reading techniques is key. I also emphasise developing the skills to practice correctly, therefore accelerating their progress. Most important is that my students enjoy coming to their lessons, and find them to be enriching, fun and encouraging. Location: Lawrence/ Beechgrove (West Hill) |
