HELLO THERE!

♪  My name is Bella and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I love teaching music, guitar and ukulele to young children because it gives them a way to FIND who they are, to EXPRESS their feelings, emotions and thoughts and to LET IT GO!

♪  I have found that young children love playing musical instruments, making up their own songs, creating rhythmic patterns and learning a new musical instrument through story-type lessons. I am building each new lesson on their interests and passion, aiming not only to teach them a skill, but to develop a life-long LOVE for music, to SING, CREATE and PLAY the songs from their hearts!

♪  My classes are fun, interactive, small groups of children where each child finds their voice and shines bright! 
Homework Offered
Practising 5 minutes a day will help with the development of the hand and fingers and strengthen the muscles required to play the guitar and press on the frets. Students can practise the strumming techniques and the chords discussed in class. The teacher will share digital copies of the songs that we learn during our classes, so students can practise those songs as well.
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
➡️ For this class, students will need an acoustic or classical guitar, or an electric guitar plugged into an amp. Picks are optional, and I encourage young learners to use their fingers, not a pick. I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking. You will also need a CAPO.

➡️ Please make sure your guitar is tuned before class as we will not be discussing tuning in this class. Here is a video explaining how to tune your guitar using a guitar tuner app on your phone. A grown up can help you with this:

➡️ In order for me to give feedback and see clearly the learner while playing their instrument, please make sure you position the learners, so I can see their BOTH hands when playing, head to the waist, in a well-lit room (the light coming from their front, not from the back). The young learner can sit on the floor, with their legs crossed. If they are joining from an iPad/laptop, they can also be on the floor or a little stool, it can point straight or downwards.

➡️ Please note that the learner can't sit on an armchair as this will restrict the way their instrument needs to be positioned and also restricts the movement of the learner's arms. A chair with no arms, or a stool is recommended. Both learner's feet should be on the floor, not hanging.

➡️ Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns.

🎵 The teacher will provide the songs and other files (strumming and chord sheets);
Students will need a tuned guitar for the class. 
Please check this video that explain you how to tune your guitar using an app on your phone. Beginners and young learners will need help with tuning their guitar.
