My lessons will mainly focus on teaching beginner guitar/bassists the basics of playing, and how we can advance those skills by using music theory and techniques. A lesson plan may be in place (especially for the first few lessons) however any specific requests the students such as songs, techniques, theory will always be taken into consideration and will tailored to skill level. As a current university student myself, studying music and songwriting. I am able to teach up to date and relevant skills, using the knowledge from my course. I will approach the lessons with a fresh perspective using current theory and referencing popular trends. As somebody who has been in bands, actively gigging as well as recording original music, for over 6 years I am able to give students insight into the gig scene and studio etiquette, as well as any advice on how to start up a band and successfully promote acts using social media platforms to get music out there. My main aim as a tutor is to reassure people, and I have a particular skill in working with anxious people and beginners. Using my lived experience I can empathise and understand student nerves and lack of confidence and will strive to support and progress students and increase their self belief and confidence.
