About
I know that my work can have a positive impact on other people's lives by helping them find a new hobby, develop a talent, or even choose a new profession. Teaching guitar, especially remotely, gives me the opportunity to work at a time and place that suits me, which creates additional flexibility and freedom in my life and the lives of my students. Additionally, I have experience playing in a guitar quartet, so I can combine the playing of several of my students to create small ensembles. For me, this is a good opportunity to try something new in terms of music and meet new people)
Teaching Style
I teach online on the Zoom/Telegram platform. During remote classes, I use two high-quality web cameras for convenient and quick change of angle and high-quality image, for high-quality sound transmission I use a semi-studio microphone Samson C01UPRO. Therefore, there will be no problems with the image and sound during the class. The programme of lessons includes the development of both hands, learning chords, notes, overtones, tablature, and everything else you need when playing the guitar. As a result, a person will be able to play songs with lyrics on the guitar, as well as play complex instrumental compositions on the guitar thanks to the licks and exercises that will develop stretching and various guitar techniques.
