Hello, I'm Dares!
After discovering the guitar in my early teens, I started my journey in music and obtained ABRSM Certifications in both Classical Guitar and Music Theory, and recently completed a Diploma in Music Production at Orita Sinclair College.

Passion = results
Build a lifelong connection
Music goes beyond just chasing certificates and grades. My goal is to make music become a lifestyle, something beautiful that stays with you.
Students can grow to play with others, form bands, and find their place in musical communities, carrying a lasting love for music that supports and stays with them throughout their life.

Lesson Plan
I use an interest-first approach for teaching:
Step #1: Identify Interests
I find out what music the student likes and choose pieces that match their current level.
Step #2: Identify What to Work On
I assess student strengths and weaknesses and build a practice plan using songs they enjoy.
Step #3: Further Practice
They grow their range and develop the skills to take on harder pieces.
Milestones
Over the course of learning, students will:
Milestone #1: Build a Personal Repertoire
- Play songs the student likes
- Play song to perform for fun
Milestone #2: Create a Personal Canon
- Learn a "standard" list of songs
- Develop core techniques and skills
Milestone #3: Get Exam / Performance Ready
- Work towards accreditation and/or private performance
- Use skillsets for Direct School Admission (DSA), Music Elective Programme (MEP)
