In fact in many cases I found the opposite, and that I was able to introduce concepts and techniques more easily, along with being able to monitor, asses my students effectively and therefore generate personal lesson plans that resulted in fast progress. With the help of some fantastic specialist music software I can deliver fun, engaging and productive music lessons.”Please get in touch for a free first lesson, where we can meet each other and get a feel for what lessons together might be like.
