Lettter re teaching general:

Hi there
I have a particular love for children especially being a father myself??
I have taught for over 30 years and in that time have had countless students ( the majority of whom have all been around 7-16 yrs of age) so be assured I am vastly experienced
I believe passionately in teaching the foundational structures of music to my students (I.e posture finger exams aural theory snd so on… as it is these skills that are the very basis of their future. Knowledge is key for me!
It’s vital to be a good role model for students snd do I like to feel that my reputation is as it is largely because I have established the right kind of balance between many vital ingredients needed especially for youngsters( I.e fun discipline encouragement and hard work!!!
Take care
