I study the Arban Method of Trumpet and play with the local orchestra here. I can read music as well and compose for orchestral instruments as well. I teach beginner and intermediate students and pay special attention to posture, breathing, clear tone generation and instrument maintenance. While the coaching for trumpet is based on the western system, Indian Film songs sound good played on it as well and I am happy to teach those to students that are interested.

Teaching Experience in detail in Music Composition classes

I am a natural composer and have, over the years studied my own methods as well as those of the greats (from Rahman to Mozart ) of capturing inspiration, organising it and arranging it for voice and instruments. I am flexible with students who do not wish to read and write music, but I strongly recommend it and teach reading music notation as a part of my sessions. I work with the student's inspiration, injecting input and ideas of my own when required to help create compositions that the student may go ahead and play freely.

"I've been learning guitar under Mr.shanks. for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is not just a great guitarist, but also an excellent teacher who is patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about music. Every class is inspiring and structured in a way that makes even difficult concepts feel easy to grasp. What I appreciate most is how [Teacher’s Name] tailors the lessons to my pace and goals, making learning fun and effective. Whether it's finger exercises, chords, or improvisation, I always walk away from each session with more confidence and clarity. I'm very lucky to have Mr.shanks as my teacher Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning guitar—whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills. 🎸 "
