Playing an instrument isn't a gift or a natural talent, it's a skill, like anything else. Anyone can learn to play an instrument, just as long as its something they really want to do! Whatever pathway you want to go down, whether it be taking the grade exams and learning complex, elegant classical pieces, or if you're put off by the idea of having to read notation and would just like to to learn how to play/ the songs you love, and understand the inner workings of music, then I would love to help! In my lessons, as well as going through how to actually play, I cover a variety of areas such as: - Improvisation - Playing by ear - Ear Training & Aural skills - Composition - Harmony & Theory Some of my favourite artists include Jimi Hendrix, D'angelo, Erykah Badu, John Mayer, Royal Blood, James Blake, Lianne La Havas, etc. A lot of soul music mixed with jazz, hip hop, funk etc. But generally I enjoy almost everything, from Rock to Rap to classical.
