About the tutor

Hello! My name is Christian Cowsill, and I am passionate about music, teaching, and helping students unlock their full potential. With almost 30 years of experience in music education, I inspire students of all ages and skill levels to connect with their creativity and grow through learning. I hold a Diploma in Applied Music and have combined this with a Diploma in Computer Programming to integrate traditional and modern teaching methods. My experience includes roles as a K-8 Music Teacher at a private academy and Music Program Director at a prestigious arts camp, where I developed engaging lessons and mentored young musicians. Currently, I teach online using tools like OBS and Zoom, tailoring lessons to meet unique student needs. Whether exploring guitar techniques, music theory, or favorite songs, I strive to make every lesson engaging and impactful. My goal is to instill a lifelong love for learning and self-expression. Let’s embark on this exciting educational journey together!

Teaching methodology

As a guitar tutor, I specialize in teaching students of all levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. My teaching style is rooted in engagement, practicality, patience, motivation, and creativity. I believe that every student is unique, and my goal is to create a learning environment where they feel supported and inspired to achieve their best. To ensure each student’s success, I begin by evaluating their musical abilities, interests, and goals. This allows me to design a tailored learning plan that aligns with their individual needs and aspirations. I provide personalized suggestions for improvement, focusing on developing technical skills, musicality, and confidence in performance. My approach combines both practical application and theoretical understanding. I incorporate performance assessments and theory quizzes to track progress and identify areas for growth. By integrating these tools, I help students gain a comprehensive understanding of music while fostering their creativity and passion. What sets my teaching apart is my commitment to making music education enjoyable and enriching. Whether we are mastering a challenging piece, exploring new genres, or delving into music theory, I strive to keep lessons dynamic and engaging. My students not only learn to play their instruments but also develop a deeper appreciation for the art of music. With me, learning music is more than acquiring skills; it’s about discovering one’s voice, building confidence, and experiencing the joy that comes from self-expression. Together, we embark on a journey of continuous growth and musical exploration.
