My teaching is based on the following principles:
- music is fun, and one of the most enjoyable activities (to me, the most enjoyable!)
to engage in
- everyone has an innate musical ability and my objective as a teacher is to bring
out the best of that musical ability in all my pupils
- it is never too late or too early to start learning music
- I use a variety of well -established teaching methods (Kodali, Suzuki, the traditional
Italian conservatoire method for piano, the “French” flute method) which have been
shown to be effective and successful
- I adapt my teaching methods to the needs, abilities and age of each pupil
- I adapt my lessons to the objectives each pupil wants to achieve (to have fun, to
make a career out of music, to pass exams) and the repertoire each pupil wants to
explore (classical, experimental, jazz...)
- instrument lessons aren’t limited to technique but include a broad musical education
which is essential in order to play well
