I've been working as a Music Teacher for more then 10 years. On the way I gathered a lot of experience which helped me to design and implement different procedures to help students on different levels. The core idea behind my teaching is learning through application. That is the way how I tend to design all of my courses, offline and online. If you want to improve your Music knowledge, my courses can help you.
