Focusing on You

 

1 — songwriting

I want to inspire you. To find the writer inside you. To help you dig deep. To give you tips on how to bring out the best of your inner creativity. To be the pearl diver searching for that pearl. To open up doors inside you that have remained closed and allow you to express yourself in ways you’ve never done before.

2 — Singing

I am able to give you…the confidence you need to believe in your voice. To find the sound you’ve always wanted to find and to let it out. To understand how the voice works and how to look after it. To overcome your fears and insecurities and express yourself musically through your voice.

3 — Piano

I am able to help you…find your touch. Understand how the fingers work on the keys. How to phrase. How to sight-read and how to practice effectively. Learn pop songs, classical pieces, film themes and even how to start improvising. Pedal technique, hand positions, chords and learning to use the hands independently.

4 —Guitar

I am able to teach you…the basics. from the simple chords to the basic finger picking. But much more importantly I can teach you how to put feeling into your playing. How to make the guitar sing. How to express yourself on the instrument and how to discover the magic of those 6 strings on a fretboard.
