More FAQs
🔸Why should I learn from you instead of someone else?🔸
No... I'm not going to be able to make miracles happen for your guitar journey but what I can promise you are these few things if you choose to work with me:
1. A personalised set of practice routines that is a much faster way to progress than wasting your time looking up a million YouTube videos that teach similar things that you already knew.
2. Instantly correct (almost) all of your bad playing habits (be it new or seasoned players) that might've been stopping your growth for the longest time, WITHOUT YOU EVEN REALISING THEM!
3. A chill and relaxed environment to learn, make mistakes, progress and HAVE FUN!
I've seen far too many teachers that are either way too strict, or way too relaxed when teaching students. For me, I hope to strike a balance between these 2 spectrums and provide YOU with a structured routine that you can be determined with, but at the same time, have fun with!
🔸 How is the lesson being conducted? 🔸
The standard style will be a 1-hour 1-1 private coaching lesson! However, upon request, I'm also flexible to teach at shorter and longer durations namely; 30min, 45min, 60min, 90min.
If you'd like to bring a friend along, there will be discounted rates as well!
🔸 Where is it held? 🔸
Guitar lessons will be held at my work studio at 18 Sin Ming Ln, Midview City, Singapore 573960!
🔸 Will Guitar be provided? 🔸
Yes! Guitar will be provided if it’s conducted at my place! If you'd like to bring your own ones, that's perfectly fine by me as well! If at your place, you’re expected to have your own, though you could use mine temporarily as well!
🔸 How long would it take for me to see progress?🔸
Give yourself at least 6 weeks! Whether you're a new or a seasoned player, I'm sure that you'll see great progress in 6 weeks! (provided that you also put in the hard work in the exercises too!)
🔸 What's the minimum age that you can teach?🔸
Anywhere from 12 years old and above! Unlike the piano, learning guitar at the initial phase requires not only patience, but also the finger size that with kids have yet to develop fully! Furthermore, the strength required to press each strings is considerably harder for kids so it is unfortunately something that's beyond my capabilities to help such young students with!
However, fret not! For those 12 years old and below, I would recommend learning the ukulele as it is a much easier string instrument to pick up for them at a younger age!
