It starts with: Making music should be fun!

How this manifests in my teaching depends very much on the individual pupil or group being taught.

Most people benefit from some combination of:

​

• technical understanding to make singing/playing more comfortable and efficient and less mysterious

• building confidence

• reduction in over-thinking and inner critic commentary

• being able to see progress

• having an aim to work towards

• relaxing and letting the music flow

And the greatest joy of teaching is finding the right path and requirements for each pupil.
