Lessons tailored to you
-
I use a Kodály-inspired curriculum combining singing, musical games and teaching strategies designed specifically for young children to ignite a lifelong love of music in young children while they learn guitar technique, music notation and musical concepts.
-
Get off on the right foot with my carefully structured curriculum that develops fundamental guitar playing with safe and efficient technique in classical or contemporary style.
I’ll introduce you to chords and strumming as well as how to understand chord charts and sheet music.
-
We will focus on your preferred style/s and repertoire as you build on existing technique, increase the efficiency of your left-hand and right-hand technique, develop repertoire for performance and work on your performance skills.
-
We will focus on advanced guitar technique in your preferred style/s, troubleshoot technical problems that are interfering with the fluency of your playing and develop higher level performance skills.
-
If you want to work on developing both your guitar and singing skills, I can combine these in the same lesson. We can also focus on strategies for accompanying yourself while your are singing and troubleshoot the specific problems that arise when you are playing two instruments at once!
-
If you’d prefer to attend your lesson online for whatever reason, I’d love to see you on Zoom!
Pricing varies depending on location and what you need, ranging from $200-1500 per term.
What People Are Saying
“Naomi is highly skilled in identifying areas of developmental need, encouraging aspects of natural talent and bring about a more confident performer though a respectful and nurturing program, tailored to each student.”
— Noel, father of 11-year-old Rose
“Naomi Is an incredible teacher. She was able to harness my son's passion and understood how to focus this for the HSC. He struggled to find a teacher who 'got' him and Naomi was able to take a young person who hadn’t been formally educated in music to one who is now accepted into one of the foremost music colleges on the basis of their portfolio.”
— Manisha, mother of 18-year-old Ryan
“Thank you for your enthusiasm, inclusiveness and musicianship. You have the ability to find music in every person.”
