First lesson
Before the first lesson, Ed will make sure he understands the student’s needs and will provide a rough outline of how the lesson will proceed. The lesson will begin with a brief chat and will then run at a pace that works for the student. Ed always takes a starting point in the student's own wishes and needs; it’s very important that his students feel comfortable and at ease in order for the best learning to happen! Ed is a skilled tutor and is able to tailor repertoire and teaching style to best fit the individual.
