Piano, Guitar, Theory & Aural, Composition

In my work as a music teacher, I emphasise developing musicianship through integrating theoretical knowledge and aural skills with instrumental tuition. I aim at all levels of instrumental tuition to instil long lasting, safe and efficient technical skills. In addition to one-on-one lessons, I also enjoy working with groups, providing a focused environment to develop musical skills in a way which contributes not only to individual progress, but also to one’s ability to communicate musical ideas to other musicians effectively.

I’m currently expanding my teaching practice to working with bands as follows:

1. Assisting in developing members’ capacity to properly communicate and coordinate in the shared creation of music.
2. Targeting individual competencies to expand upon and weaknesses to improve upon.
3. Understanding how to best utilise musical equipment in a jam context and live show context.
4. Working on understanding the logistical aspects of band management in order to maximise on opportunities for growth in the live music scene.

Since modern musicians now have far greater access to studio quality equipment and software, I am also interested in teaching DAW (digital audio workstation) skills. Musicians today have more opportunity to expand their craft through engaging with music technology than ever before, and doing so will increasingly become expected of those who wish to continuously refine their craft across a musical career.
