Hands-on Piano, Guitar & Singing lessons with motivational support

I am a piano, guitar, and singing tutor who specializes in teaching students of all levels. My teaching methodology is centered around being empathetic, motivational, and collaborative with my students. With my experience as a mental health counselor and my research in psychology, I have discovered many different ways to teach the same subject to different people and although I certainly cannot read your mind, throughout our interactions I can gradually develop a customised teaching strategy appropriate for your learning styles and strategies. I believe in using the five senses in my teachings, as I understand many students lean towards more visual learning, but many other students lean towards more audio learning. I believe in building a strong foundation in both theory and practice, while also incorporating improvisation and composition exercises to encourage creativity. I provide positive suggestions for improvement to help my students reach their full potential by focusing on student strengths. In order to fix mistakes effectively, I will often teach students the names of the "wrong chords" in addition to the names of the "right chords" and I find this significantly helps in creating a positive and non-judgmental environment for growth.
