Tutoring Approach:

Using my vast experience I have used a number of different approaches to tutoring however after many years I adopted a very straight forward approach explaining the theory behind all of the modules because I want my students not just to be able to play the instrument but simply by knowing the key the song is in, can instantly play along with other musicians, knowing what most of the chords will be without having to ask, allowing all students to be SOCIAL musicians, giving others pleasure playing with them and singing along with them as well.

As I have said 25 of my students are now professional session musicians touring the world as we speak.
