Teaching Method
Glen has evolved his own teaching philosophy over many years, which has naturally developed as a result of his diverse areas of musical study, particularly through his experiences in Indian classical music, and the guru-shishya (master-disciple) relationship found in Indian musical training.
Glen takes an enjoyable, creative and flexible approach to all lessons, which are practically based with an aural emphasis, and aimed at increasing the student's confidence and proficiency.
Glen is a naturally friendly and nurturing teacher, who seeks to establish a close rapport and connection with his students. Rather than take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, Glen recognizes that each student is an individual with particular needs, their own sense of musical preference, and way of learning.
Glen's approach is to identify and encourage the particular musical interests of the student, and to nurture these as the centre of the student's learning. Glen encourages as much enjoyment as possible throughout the learning process, the basic idea being that we should do what we love and love what we do, and therefore be self-motivated to achieve our goals. Glen hopes in this manner to help students kindle a spark of musical interest, which will continue throughout their lives.
