About Me
I have been in the music industry for 30+ years, toured NZ & Australia with bands and released albums and I love sharing my passion for music with others.
As a music teacher, I have the privilege of helping students discover their passion for music and watch them grow as musicians. Teaching music is more than just imparting knowledge about theory and technique; it’s about nurturing creativity, building confidence, and fostering a love for music that can last a lifetime.
One of the things I love most about teaching music is the opportunity to inspire students to express themselves through music. Whether it’s helping a student write a song or encouraging them to improvise on an instrument, I love seeing the spark of creativity ignite in their eyes as they begin to explore the possibilities of music.
Music also has the power to bring people together and foster a sense of community. As a music teacher, I have seen firsthand how playing music with others can build teamwork skills, encourage cooperation, and create lasting friendships. Watching students collaborate on a musical project or perform together in a concert is truly inspiring.
Teaching music also provides me with the chance to instill a sense of discipline and dedication in my students. Learning an instrument or mastering a musical piece takes time, patience, and perseverance. As students practice and improve, they develop a sense of pride and accomplishment that carries over into other areas of their lives.
Finally, teaching music is incredibly rewarding because I get to witness the positive impact that music can have on my students’ lives. Music has been shown to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance overall well-being. Knowing that I am helping my students experience these benefits is truly fulfilling.
In conclusion, teaching music is a wonderful and fulfilling profession that allows me to inspire, encourage, and empower my students through the transformative power of music. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to share my passion for music with others and to help them discover the joy of making music for themselves.
