About your tutor

I have been training in music since I was 6, and have also been composing since then for 15+ years. I am also a graduate of Trinity Western University with a BA in music, and have held a T.A. position for an Intro to Digital Recording course offered there. I have done theory, harmony, music composition, and piano lessons at this prestigious university. I have also completed up to RCM grade 10 (theory, harmony, and performance). I have 3 pieces for gaming/theme music (showcasing some unconventional, as well as some conventional harmonies), and also my own (original) 7-minute film score interpretation for a CGI animated short film created by Taiko Studios (which I am not affiliated with) @ http://lukas.jusman.net/portfolio. I also have a 4-minute song I've completed with a singer. But most importantly, I'm here to help.

Teaching methodology

I like to teach following these 4 steps: 1) Cover material. "Material" refers to applicable worksheets/notes as well as the topic itself. The student will be highly encouraged to take notes on what they think are key points. Notes are CRUCIAL. They serve to remind and reinforce synapse connections in the brain for short-term and long-term memory. Repetition, repetition, repetition! 2) Homework (means repetition of assigned practice) 3) Feedback (play it back to me) 4) Repeat Step 1. "Material" can refer to the current material if feedback is "bad", and next material if current material is "sufficient." I also believe in keeping lessons fun and enjoyable. Lessons should have some flavor to them. Like in cooking. I am quite flexible with teaching strategies. If you already have a preferred method of learning, I can adapt to your way of learning and tailor lessons as such. You can let me know in the first lesson we have what works for you and what doesn't/won't.
