In every lesson I will...

• review how you've been getting on, answer your questions, correct anything that's not quite right
• explain what we will learn next
• teach you each new topic in detail, often supported by handouts to take away
• explain what to practise at home and how it ties in with what we have just learned

To make your time at home work for you, I will...

• prepare for each of your lessons, rather than teach off the cuff
• tailor every lesson to match your progress
• give you a personal Practice Log listing your homework & goals - a weekly diary of your progress
• (for beginners) offer 2 CDs of most of the starter exercises so you can check yourself at home

Playing at home

• For beginners, I recommend 15-30 minutes study on the majority of the days of the week
• For intermediate players, 30-40 minutes will secure adequate progress between lessons
• You won't progress without practice at home - it's where your new skills become automatic

We're a partnership

• I will offer every encouragement if you work hard - we'll both enjoy a sense of achievement
• Let's work together to make the most of our lessons in a fun and unpressured way!
