Music is for everyone
Humans are inherently musical.
Musicality is a natural, spontaneously developing trait. We are all born with a predisposition for music that is also refined by listening to and studying music.
It doesn’t matter if your goal is to pursue a career as a professional musician or play music as a hobby; cultivating our talent in music is an ongoing journey.
Individualized / Tailored Approach
I believe that everyone has a unique personality and a distinct musical identity. I personalize my teaching to every person I work with. I utilize a personalized teaching approach where recognizing and encouraging each student’s learning style while also attempting to comprehend their personality, mindset, musical interests and objectives, what drives them, and the way they wish to express themselves is critical. In my lessons, I make sure I allow space for my students to explore areas of individual skills and strengths, as well as their musical preferences.
My goal is to give my students perspective on music, teach them guitar in a fun and understandable way, or support them in growing their:
- Skills
- Knowledge
- Confidence,
- Personality through music!
Music is a journey of self-discovery and self-care
We are entertained and inspired by music. It has the power to evoke strong feelings, while also giving us a way to express those feelings. It can reach further and even infuence one’s personal identity. Learning music comes with a lot of benefits, some more obvious than others. It enhances brain development and cognitive functioning, eases stress, develops soft skills, stimulates creativity and promotes a positive self-identity.
Each person’s journey in music looks and feels different!
