20-minute private lessons are ideal for young learners. Siobhan McGovern offers private music lessons in voice, violin, ukulele, and music theory. No experience necessary. Siobhan accepts students of all levels and abilities. From beginner to advanced. Lessons are catered to the individual's needs. Let me know what level you are at and what you want to work on. With over 20 years of teaching experience, Siobhan knows how to motivate students to achieve their musical goals. In the classroom, Siobhan encourages students to progress in a positive and understanding learning environment. The lesson format begins with warmups and exercises which help students develop a strong technical foundation. The bulk of the lesson time will be spent on learning songs. Lessons can be casual and based on learning music for enjoyment or lessons can have a more serious tone with exam preparation, audition preparation and polishing of pieces as the focus. In general, one-on-one lessons move at the pace of the student with song performance as the main goal. Song choice will be balanced between songs assigned by the teacher and songs of the students choosing. I ask students to tell me some of their favorite songs and we will work on these in the lessons (or easy versions if the song choice is too difficult). Areas that will be covered in the lessons: 1) warmups 2) technique 3) musical knowledge 4) repertoire 5) performance 6) playing expressively 7) music theory 8) how to practice 9) creativity (improvisation, song-writing) Students will be expected to practice 5 - 6 days a week in order to progress. I recommend 5 - 10 minutes a day for beginners.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Siobhan! A versatile and passionate human interested in continuing to learn and grow throughout life's journey. I spent nine years living in Thailand working as a professional musician and private music teacher. For five of those years, I ran my own business, a music school, where I gained valuable experience and a versatile skill set. Just before the pandemic, I was traveling and developing new skills including cooking gourmet vegetarian food, managing a kitchen, managing social media pages, video editing as well as completing my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course. During the pandemic, I began creating music classes that are specifically designed to be delivered online. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading, travel, and practicing music.Reviews
