What To Expect
Each lesson is tailored to fit the student's goals, whether they wish to follow the RCM curriculum or focus on learning their favourite songs.
I guide lessons using method books, with supplemental pieces introduced throughout each level. My focus is on building confidence, strong technique, and musicality, while helping students develop a genuine enjoyment of music.
What We'll Cover
- Repertoire & Songs — We'll learn a variety of pieces from different styles and eras, while I also incorporate songs that match the student's interests.
- Technique & Artistry — We'll work on finger strength, coordination, and control, while I continuously emphasize technique, dynamics, and natural movement to help bring each piece to life.
- Music Theory — We'll build note reading and rhythm skills through theory books, written work, and hands-on learning. I love using music games and creative activities to reinforce key concepts—helping students stay engaged and navigate pieces more fluently.
Acoustic Guitar Lessons
What To Expect
I offer acoustic guitar lessons for students ages 10 and up. Using a beginner-friendly method book, I guide students through essential techniques in a clear, structured, step-by-step way. My goal is to help each student feel confident, supported, and excited to play.
Each lesson also includes time to work on the student’s favourite songs, along with a short worksheet completed together to reinforce the concepts covered in the lesson.
What We'll Cover
- Guitar Foundations — We'll focus on proper posture, hand position, coordination, and finger strength.
- Chords, Strumming, & Playing Songs — We'll learn essential chords, smooth transitions, and common strumming patterns that allow students to play real songs.
- Music Reading & Theory — I introduce guitar tablature, standard notation, and basic music theory, and we'll apply it through simple songs and exercises.
