I have been working for 23 years as a full-time musician and teach ages 6 to 106, up to and above Grade 8 standard on some instruments. A great deal of research has been carried out recently into the benefits of learning to play a musical instrument. One research paper concluded that it enhances brain development and I have often found it is beneficial to those who have learning difficulties, dyslexia, and suffer with other similar conditions.
In my teaching the emphasis is primarily to enable people to read music and enjoy music making. If required, I will prepare and enter students for examinations, usually with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. This can often focus the attention of the student and acts as a yardstick to measure progress.
If you have any musical questions or would like to know more about any of the musical services I offer, please contact me on
[email protected]. You can also ask questions about my blogs at the same email address or make any comments on my blog page. Try and keep any comments polite and inoffensive if you feel strongly about my views.
I look forward to getting to know you. You can also contact me on Skype ID erik.retallick, Facebook: Erik Retallick, Twitter :erikallan123, Faith Book: Erik Retallick, MySpace:Erik Retallick
