Learn music through playing an instrument and singing
From 27.14 C$ /h
Firstly I am a pianist of which I am able to teach on intermediate level, however I am also a multi instrumentalist and the other instruments I can teach are bass, drums, guitar and vocals/singing to beginners only. I specialise in teaching music as a whole. This means that I don't only teach music theory or how to transcribe music, I also teach songwriting/composition.
My approach is not based on being able to sight read well. It is based on being able to play an instrument as well as eventually to be able to use music theory and to have the ability to transcribe (play music by listening to it). I love songwriting so this area of study is also a part of what my students learn when they come to me for lessons.

Extra information
Have an instrument, even if it just your voice. A keyboard is highly recommend as it is important to use one when learning music, especially for voice training.

About Me
I am an enthusiastic teacher because making even the smallest difference in someone's life brings me the most joy.
When I was younger I never took my education seriously and the funny thing is that as I have been growing older my love for education has become unstoppable. I am happy that I have have had the the opportunity to take my time to decide what work it is that I want to do. Now I know for sure that I will continue being a musician, masseuse and a teacher.
I have met a lot of different people and I feel as though this experience has allowed me to to not only grow in knowledge, but also in compassion. When we have an expanded awareness our potential to develop increases tremendously. It doesn't help being the most skilled but also the most close minded. It does help being very skilled and open minded. I am still learning and growing and I hope to continue in doing so while also helping my students to grow and learn as well.
Regardless of our age what we all have in common is the inherit ability to connect.

Education
- TEFL
- Qualified masseuse
- 10 years of musical training

As mentioned above this is my education and I firmly believe that having a degree doesn't make someone successful. What makes a person successful is knowledge, creativity, enthusiasm and humility.

When my students are able to reach their goals it makes me feel so happy because making a positive impact in someone's life is why I decided to become a teacher in the first place!
I am able to teach from beginner level up to upper intermediate level both in music and in English. In Saying this, it's important for me to mention that age doesn't matter. I am capable of teaching children, teenagers or adults. I love tailoring lessons to meet the exact needs, motivations and interests of my students. even if I am provided with resources, a learning plan and text books, I will always find the best way to use these in combination with my own resources and methods. The outcome I seek is what is best for my students and the lesson plans I create show that I do a lot of research when planning. Spending good time on lesson planning allows me to be relaxed and confident during lessons which creates a relaxed learning environment where my students can feel calm so that the work can be enjoyable as well as fun. Proper lesson planning also gives me the ability to be flexible in class so that I can adapt to the needs or ways of my students with ease and without much effort. I also use aspects of music as a resource for my students who are learning English and I have found that this approach can be very fun as well as educational.
For those who want to improve your English for professional reasons, I can help you with medical vocabulary and business English.
