My guitar and ukulele lessons have always been about my students. What kind of music makes them happy? How can I teach technique and skills using the songs and styles of music they love. 

By making connections with my students and learning what makes them smile, practising is a breeze and they get the happiness and confidence that comes from playing an instrument. 

We begin with navigating our way around the guitar - especially when learning remotely, knowing which way is up is very important! In our first lesson, we will learn the chords A, D & E, and be able to play a simple song using good technique. I've also never had a student in 25 years who hasn't had their vocals improve as a side effect ;) I really like to focus on songs the students are interested in, so the first lesson is an important time for finding out where their interests lie! 

I send lesson materials via pdf at least the day before each lesson to be printed off at home. Viewing on a screen is possible, so long as there's the option to annotate.
