Teaching Approach
Sue teaches to suit pupils, whether it's classical, jazz or popular music. Through her own experience of performing on stage and rehearsing, Sue understands the need to choose material which a student really enjoys playing. Therefore, Sue sources material to suit the pupil.
Sue encourages students to be aware of breathing and good physical techniques and how this relates to a personal sound. She works on good technique, aural training, sight reading and improvisation and utilises backing tracks to help practice sessions. Sue helps pupils understand the benefits of regular practice in order to feel a sense of achievement. She also arranges performance situations for pupils and encourage them to find playing situations, or enter for an exam.
