Once the goals are set he will handcraft exercises to enhance your strengths and to nurture your weaknesses.

He will create a daily routine of exercises so that the students can make progress in various areas of the instrument (technique, harmony, repertoire, ear training and theory).

After only a few lessons, you will find your musical knowledge expanding at a rate that now seems impossible to experience.
