My mission is to get my students to play as quickly as possible, the lessons are pretty much hands on.. practical and not dwelling too much on unnecessary theory but learning the basic theory is all you need to learn in order to understand what is it that you're playing on the instrument.

I often get the student to bring a song or a piece a music of their choice that we can start with. We strip the song apart, analyse it and start playing it straight away..

It is a good motivator to get to start playing.. Often student are face and ask to play songs or pieces of music that they can't relate to and I think it is important to be able to relate to the music you're playing and expressing yourself with.

All you need to do is to give it a try.. Don't be shy!
