I’m seeking a patient and enthusiastic tutor for private music lessons focused on theory and basic practice. I’d like to improve my reading of musical notation, rhythm, and ear training, with a gentle progression from beginner to a comfortable intermediate level. Sessions should be held online or in-person near Dublin, with flexible scheduling on weekday evenings. I’d prefer someone who can provide short, clear explanations, handouts or worksheets, and feedback on progress. Requirements: experience teaching adults, clear communication in English, and ability to tailor lessons to my goals (broadly, enjoyment and foundational skills for playing an instrument).
