Information
I have had 6 years of teaching experience in a one-to-one setting or in groups and have a 100% exam pass rate. I regularly play with amateur orchestras. My method of teaching is focused more on the technical side of playing; however I do incorporate the expressive side of playing later depending on how well the student has grasped the technical side. I believe that technique comes before expression and the basics have to be thoroughly learnt before adding any other more advanced aspects of music. I tend not to teach technique alongside with expression/emotions as I feel that will overcrowd the brain and the speed of learning an instrument will decrease and frustration will set in. However students learn in different ways and I believe my experience enables me to adapt my teaching method accordingly to help students and their parents fully understand what music is about, why/what certain things need to be done to progress at a steady rate.
