I like to have balance in my lessons, nobody wants to sit and look at theory for a full hour, or to work through scales. So my lessons work on developing knowledge of the instrument, the theory needed to play it, the practical element & capturing it. This means in an hour lesson you get 5 minutes of warm up exercise, 10 minutes of theory (with links for external practise), 35 minutes of practical rehearsal and 5 minutes at the end to reflect on what has been learned. I show my students what they need to rehearse when away from lessons (and provide recordings for them to practise to when required).
