In all my teaching I endeavour to take a student-centred approach. Each student will have different needs. Some want to become superstars, some just enjoy playing at home. Whatever the reason for taking up the instrument I will take the student from wherever he or she is and improve their skills to the limits of their ability. Some of my former students are currently working professionally as musicians, teachers or are in some way connected to the music industry.

My Goals

  • To take a student-centred approach. 
  • To improve skills to the limits of the student's ability.
  • To ensure the students are equipped with the best techniques - that way they will only be limited by their own desires.
  • To teach students not just how to play, but how to create their own original music and arrangements

Special Needs
 
I currently have a student with Parkinson's Disease who has made great progress using open tuning. I feel very humbled by the amount of effort that he has to put in to playing and I feel greatly privileged to be teaching him. 
Another one of my students is deaf.
 
Due to the restrictions of my accomodation I am unable to offer wheelchair access at the moment, I do, however, teach both ablebodied and disabled people in their own homes on request (subject to availability of suitable times).
