I am preferably a one to one tutor with a very hands on practical approach. I am fluent in piano and guitar the latter i have studied for 9 years and have worked in various high profile studios assisting artists to achieve their desired result creatively or sonically. since before i had an understanding of music theory, i've always relied on my ears recognising intervals and chord tones from how they sound as opposed to how they are written in manuscript.
The reason i favour this approach is that i feel music should be cultivated internally so when a student has theory knowledge It isn't a creative restriction and actually a tool which can be summoned when required.
One thing that i have learnt over the years of studying jazz is that rules are meant to be broken. Did you know that the flat 5th(also known as a tritone) was the devils interval and classical musicians were prohibited from playing it; despite this, Jazz musicians used this tritone substitution to construct new innovative methods to move though chord changes and advanced harmony. This is just an example of how imperative sonic exploration is finding out the scales and frequencies that the student finds enticing as in my opinion, this is how innovators are born.
