Teaching Style
He follows a highly adaptive teaching approach, tailoring his methods to suit each individual student rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula. His sessions are practical and hands-on, with minimal lecturing and a strong emphasis on experimentation. Instead of overloading students with theory, he encourages learning through doing—exploring sounds, techniques, and ideas in real time. His goal is to guide students toward discovering concepts on their own as they progress, building intuition and confidence along the way. Mistakes are not only welcomed but actively encouraged, as he believes that in music, errors often become the foundation for originality and memorable ideas. Through this process, students learn to trust their instincts and develop a unique creative voice.
Curriculum
There are no compulsory textbooks. Learning is primarily driven by practical exercises, listening, and hands-on experimentation. Supplementary materials may be suggested based on the student’s interests and level, including reference guides, selected articles, tutorials, and curated listening material. Custom resources and examples are shared during lessons to support individual learning goals.
