If you made it this far, Hello!
I love music a lot! I wish to share my love for music with others, and hopefully teach people my secrets so they can become great artists!
I am mostly focused on teaching classical, and I believe it is essential as a foundation for any musical style, but, if you are interested in Pop Music, Jazz, Music from Cinema/Games, etc. I can find a way to teach that as well!
I prefer to teach younger students, or adult beginners, but, I am adaptable to anything!
