About Tywi
Instruments:
Guitar, in standard and various tunings.
Flute for beginners.
Music software including Cubase, Ableton Live, Max/MSP, Adobe Audition, Audacity.
Genre/Style(s):
For guitar: rock, blues, pop, jazz. I mainly teach for steel strung guitars, to be played with a pick.
For flute: classical, jazz.
For computer: electronica, dance music, beats.
Ability Levels:
Beginners to Intermediate
I am happy to teach based on the student's individual requirements. This might involve working on particular songs, completing ABRSM, Trinity or Rock School grades, developing an understanding of chords and theory, focussing on a solid technique, or working on improvisation.
In my one-to-one lessons I am happy to travel to your house, work online via Skype or Zoom, or you can attend at my home in Warrington.
My Approach to Guitar Teaching:
In a lesson you can expect to work in detail on technical drills to improve your technique - with the aim of playing in time, in tune, in tone, and sounding good! Over the course of many lessons you will be introduced to foundational exercises for the left and right hands which will aid your speed and fluidity on the fretboard, and provide you with tools that can be used to improve and support your playing for the rest of your life - no matter which style of music you choose to play. I will look at your specific needs as a player, and provide the necessary support for forming good habits.
We will then always use the technical work described above in the context of music - working on songs, pieces and techniques for improvisation which will give you a repertoire that you can return to whenever you find yourself with a guitar in your hands.
We will also use this work as a structure through which to learn music theory - you will begin to gain a deeper and deeper understanding of how the fretboard works, how rhythm works and how to feel it in the body; and how scales, chords, keys and modes can be used to make music of your own.
Students are always very welcome to bring their own suggestions for songs or pieces which they would like to learn. I see this as a crucial part of staying motivated, and highly encourage students to find the music which inspires them, and to use that as a way to keep learning and push themselves towards higher levels of playing and perf...
