Tutoring Approach:

I believe music can bring happiness to any person's life and my teaching method is based on support, motivation, and making the students think, leading them to good results rather than directly giving them the key to get those. That way, playing the instrument is always associated with pleasure and personal satisfaction, followed by a "want more" feeling that makes you enjoy the process: the process of discovering and assimilating sensations and therefore getting the desired results.
​Music has always been the most important part of my life since I was 8 years old, I love my instrument, I am very passionate and friendly and consider myself an effective communicator full of initiative.

The way a lesson is planned is important and it needs to be full of the necessary information needed to achieve and improve the various skills and techniques, but also needs to be kept upbeat and interesting enough to hold the attention of each student. I always try to make my lessons enjoyable depending on the personal interests/preferences.

I have a flexible schedule and I can travel anywhere in Glasgow, or further for a modest fee.
