My goal is to instill a deep appreciation for music in every individual I teach. Together, we will dive into the world of music production, composition, and more, unlocking your full potential in the realm of sounds and melodies.

Music lessons overview
In my teaching approach, I blend expressive musicality, theory integration, and progressive instruction to create a personalized learning experience for adults and advanced music enthusiasts. By focusing on music production, composition, sight-reading, and digital audio tools, I guide students through a journey of creativity and skill development. Utilizing tech tools like backing track libraries, ear training software, and recording apps, I enhance the learning environment both online and offline. I tailor lesson plans to align with individual goals and skill levels, ensuring a technique-focused and creative approach that keeps students engaged and motivated. Whether preparing for music exams or exploring music theory, my method emphasizes practical applications and performance assessments to showcase progress and build confidence. By integrating theory into practice through hands-on activities like music mixing and mashups, students deepen their understanding and enhance their musical adaptability. For a holistic learning experience, I draw from diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Programs, and IB standards, providing a comprehensive foundation for students' musical journeys. With a focus on less than 10 students per session, I offer personalized attention and guidance to help each individual excel in their musical pursuits.
