The teaching approach
From listening to independent practice
During the lesson, a technical or musical point is reduced to a clear next step. The feedback responds directly to what you are playing.
01
Listen and identify
We identify where timing, movement, sound or phrasing needs attention.
02
Practise with purpose
We divide the passage into workable parts and choose an exercise that addresses the issue.
03
Return to the music
You leave with a practical order of work and a clear listening point for home practice.
