​

Drawing on over 17 years of combined academic and self-taught musical experience, I have developed teaching strategies that considers the pros and cons of formal and informal learning. With over 7 years of teaching a studio of 30+ students, I have refined these methods to be applicable in almost all situations.

​​

Incorporating the best of both learning styles is what informs my teaching methods.

​

 I aim to not only teach what to practice, but also how to practice as a way for students to not only achieve their goals, but also learn the skills to continue doing so independently.

Notable benefits of a formal approach to learning music include:

i) Building strong fundamentals of theory, technique and fretboard knowledge

ii) The knowledge and ability to analyze music and concepts on a high technical level

iii) A set of tools and clear processes to solve problems that will come up during the learning process.

 

 The informal, 'by-ear' approach builds:

i) Strong listening and aural skills

ii) Practical knowledge used in the real world

iii) A unique, self-explored musical intuition that is essential in building our individual voices, and guiding our artistic decisions when creating music.
