Teaching Approach

My teaching is rooted in strong technical foundations and a deep understanding of how musical skills develop over time.

Lessons integrate:

• Secure instrumental technique

• Practical music theory

• Aural training through singing and listening

• Musical understanding and interpretation

• Structured, individual progression

Students are supported to become confident, independent and expressive musicians.

Tuition can be exam-focused or purely for enjoyment, and repertoire may include both classical and folk traditions.

Learning to play with others is an essential and joyful part of musical development.
