“In my view, learning guitar is not only about chords and technique. It is an opportunity to learn to play your favourite songs, understand music better, develop musical hearing, sense of rhythm, memory, reaction, concentration and creative thinking.
In the lessons, I combine practical stage experience with a structured but lively approach to learning. My goal is to help the student not only play notes or chords correctly, but also feel the music, think musically and experience the joy of their own progress.”
