Guitar for beginner or intermediate children or adults

Àpd 54.4 $ /h

An ex-professional musician with 25 years experience teaching hundreds of children guitar, I am also a qualified primary school teacher with a British degree and several years experience. Privately I have taught chldren from the ages of 7 upwards, and several adults. Two of the children I taught some years ago I'm still in touch with and they are now pursuing degrees and careers in music.

I am an expert at engaging children (and adults, when they have the time to practise!) in the guitar and making their learning fun so that they can start playing recognisable tunes quckly, and progress to advanced skill confidently. I encourage good technique fro the start so that the pupil doesn't have to 'unlearn' a skill and learn it properly in the future.

My approach also teaches musical theory (reading music) simultaneously, so that a pupil can change between instruments at a later date. I do NOT use guitar TAB, which is for guitar only, because it limits the child to the one instrument. My approach is also flexible, meaning that the pupil can gravitate towards whatever style they like with me.

Informations supplémentaires

You will need a guitar and the desire to practise at home because that's the fastest way to progress!

Présentation

I am a British teacher based now in Østerbro.
I have three children of my own (aged 9, 8 and 5) so evenings are generally out I'm afraid.
I am a fullly-qualified teacher with many years of teaching guitar and bass and several years experience teaching in UK primary schools.
This means I'm also able to teach English, maths, science, geography, history, religious education, PE, sport, as well as classical guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar and some guitars they haven't even invented yet.
I am terrible at art so I can't teach that, unless you desire to get much worse than you already are, which I don’t recommend. I'm good at photography though, so that's nice.
I can speak Japanese, Danish and some Spanish and French.
I have been a professional and semi-professional musician for a long time.
I make the best lemon tea in the world, I'm told. Honestly, there is only one way to find out…
