Teaching Experience in detail in Trumpet classes
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.

Years of Experience in Music Composition classes
10
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.

Teaching Experience in detail in Violin Classes
I have studied viola (a bigger violin), for 5 years and the Carnatic violin for 3 years in my childhood. I teach Western Classical violin and viola at the beginner and intermediate level. This involves technique primarily, developing intonation, reading music and understanding harmony. This training will enable the student to play popular music as well with substantial ease on the instrument.

"Shanks is an incredible teacher, he is very empathic and simplified the complex theories into something digestible and easily understandable. He was always kind and understanding and kept encouraging me when I needed it the most. He kept the sessions lighthearted and fun, which facilitated my musical educational journey and even now I love playing the violin and have certain personal goals through that. "

"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. 🎸 "
