Music Tutor Providing Lessons in Music Theory, Piano, and Singing

Having taught both in classroom and one-to-one settings, my approach to teaching is all about keeping pupils excited about learning and having a keen interest in the subject matter. When looking at syllabus work, I like to add in supplementary listening/viewing to show music in practice and for inspiration.

I like to make sure that goals for learning are outlined at the beginning of the lesson, so that we can reflect on how these goals were achieved by the end of the session. By using a wide range of resources and providing live demonstration, I always aim to demonstrate musical concepts in multiple ways in order to make learning as fluid as possible.

I believe teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin, and so I aim for my sessions to be as collaborative as possible. This means that I like students to have a lot of speaking time as well, as I believe discussion helps aid with their learning. As most of my teaching is centred around music, which is often a collaborative art form, I think this approach to the subject helps keep an interest in music.

Whether I am teaching music theory, music history, music production, or piano/singing lessons, I make sure that students feel as though each task is achievable for their skill level. Creating a positive learning environment ensures better results - while pushing students to reach a high level, I never like them to feel as though they cannot achieve high goals.
