About Simone I.
Simone is a Music University graduate with 3 years of private teaching experience in guitar, theory and ensembles. Simone is a passionate teacher, who aims to develop students through effective communication and focus on engagement.
What can students expect during their lessons?
The core aim in each lesson is to create a fun, light-hearted environment that engages the student into practicing to apply what is learnt into their own creativity. Guthrie Govan agrees that technique is a tool to broaden the tonal palette of your self-expression, accordingly these lessons will be a tool to achieve your goals as a musician.
Simone is proficient in a wide variety of musical genres, and an important part of the lessons is focused towards improvisation and style studies, in order to provide the most complete formation. Furthermore, homework will be given to help set an efficient practice routine. Weekly lessons would be an ideal attendance, in any case getting in touch before starting the lessons is recommended to find the best solution for you.
What does the first lesson with a new student look like?
The first lesson is an occasion to meet, both as humans and as musicians. You'll talk about your level, your musical tastes, what your goals are and the commitment that you can put in every week. That would give a foundation to tailor a lesson plan to your needs and taste so that you can progress and enjoy your learning! Lessons preferably take place in Simone's own studio in Brighton, although they can be arranged in a different location in Brighton or online (Zoom / Google Meet / etc).
Teaching experience
