Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.
If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.
Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Aviation English for students going into Cabin Crew carrier.Working in the aviation industry, I’m constantly surrounded by aviation-specific English. How does that help you? Let me explain.
I’m a 27-year-old English teacher specializing in Aviation English for cabin crew. With over five years of experience, I’ve taught at multiple schools and airports, working with diverse crews and helping countless students improve their skills. Most of my students have been non-native English speakers, so don’t let that discourage you—it’s never a barrier to success.
My teaching style is straightforward yet effective. I use a mix of course materials, social media videos, movies, listening exercises, and, most importantly, engaging face-to-face conversations. This approach helps students overcome their fear of speaking and expressing themselves in no time. And yes, that could be you soon!
If you think I’d be a good fit as your teacher, all you need is a notebook, a pen, an open mind, and an appointment. Let’s get started!
