First lesson
Your first lesson will start with an informal chat to discuss musical interests and goals. It is Anna’s aim that you leave your first lesson able to play a short melody, which you can practice before your next lesson.
Making Progress
To enjoy practising regularly, it has to be a rewarding and reinforcing experience for students. So, Anna will encourage and facilitate you learning melodies that you know and recognise, meaning you can hear your progress for yourself. She also encourages and helps you to set achievable goals, which will help you track your progress over time and see how far you’ve come.
