What do you love most about your job?
Dave says: "Teaching guitar for a living can be extremely rewarding. There's really no better feeling in the world than the satisfaction you get from guiding an adult into playing when they thought they had missed the boat to pick up an instrument, or watching a junior student fall in love with the instrument in the same way you did at their age. The challenges can be vast, we are competing with so many distractions and commitments, so its amazing when you see your students develop and grow."
What inspired you to start your own business?
Alistair says: "Working musicians in 2018 need to be involved in every aspect of the industry, and a huge part of that is education. Teaching music allows us to earn a living whilst essentially developing our own knowledge of technical basics. It's a massively important part of every musicians toolkit, and teaching these skills really cements your understanding of them. Its also incredible when you gain a deeper understanding of something you already knew by teaching it to someone and gaining their perspective on how it works. Starting a collaborative teaching practice was simply the next logical step for us, since we all tend to work over the weekend so its nice to have this as a project for the week."
Why should our clients choose you?
Adam says: "These days, we are mostly competing with youtube which is obviously a free service, and that can present a financial obstacle for some clients. There are also paid online teaching services which can seem like better value for money than paying for a one-to-one lesson. However, we have found that time and time again, students who have a regular lesson with an actual teacher develop their playing style much more quickly as they are constantly being corrected on their technique. That regular lesson commitment also pushes students to practice, which is something that purely self-motivated learners tend to struggle with. We offer all our perspective clients a complimentary consultation, so that we can lay out a learning schedule and you can see for yourself how we can help you. After that,we hope you will continue learning with us, but if not there is no obligation to continue."
