I teach and I perform professionally for private events, venues and corporate events. I am a songwriter as well and I recorded a couple of cds. I play classical, acoustic and electric guitar but only with fingers (no pick at all).
I believe that the relationship teacher-student is essential for the success of the second. I believe any student is completely different from another and it is up to the teacher being able to adapt his method to the need of every single one. This is the reason why I created my own method which is a mix of private and online lessons: I weekly teach the lesson to the student during the private tuition and then the student can practice along the video of the lesson at home. In this way we can be sure he is not going to make any mistake of timing or music reading. Every student has his own online profile which can be accessed through the web site of the school (www.guitarlessonsperth.com.au) with a password and a personal account. Since I started teaching with this method I have seen an incredible improvement in all my students in terms of quality and speed of learning.
