I don't have professional experience in teaching music yet but I've been a part-time tutor at a tuition centre so I am experienced in teaching kids and teenagers of age ranges 5-17 years old. During my employment, I have received comments from other teachers and parents that I am skilled at creating a positive and comfortable learning experience for my students during lessons. In college, I was the president of the music club, where I conducted biweekly piano and guitar lessons for my peers (taught by my peers as well) that have no experience in playing instruments but have always wanted to learn.

Personally, I started playing instruments (piano, guitar and drums) since I was 4 years old and have always believed that it should be fun. My teachers were really supportive and were always eager to make every lesson enjoyable, where I get to learn my favourite songs while learning the right techniques and theory. I hope to incorporate the same kind of teaching in my music lessons, for beginners that have or have least experience in ever playing a guitar and are looking to try it out for fun without feeling like they are making a huge commitment of their time and money.

In the first few lessons, we'll pick a song that my student has been wanting to learn to play on the guitar. I'll teach a simple version of that song at first (like basic chords and strumming) and as we progress we'll move on to more advanced skills (like bar chords, plucking). Sounds like a plan?
