Description

Specialties

My students learn to play through a «hands on» understanding of music which enables them to create scales and chords on any stringed instrument. During lessons we are able to play in different tunings. Students are able to communicate musical ideas with players of other instruments. They can improvise, read music, maintain and adjust their instruments.

Most ukelele and guitar players memorize hand positions with little musical understanding. My students are able to play and discuss notes, which create scales, which make chords. Chords are not memorized, but created!
