About Dennis

I started playing guitar at the (very late) age of 15. I was into music since was a kid and listened to Michael Jackson, Bryan Adams, and a lot of 80s and 90s rock and pop tapes on repeat. I started a band before I even knew how to play all the chords and I've been writing music ever since. I have had several amazing teachers over the years and I am still learning. I have been teaching independently since 2008 and began teaching at institutes and music classes around Mumbai in 2011. I completed Rockschool Grade 8 in 2013. I have released a few independent songs as a solo artist and two singles with a thrash metal band (Tyrannizer). I've collaborated on a few songs with a solo artist 'IYI' from Bulgaria on one of his albums. I have also performed at various venues in Mumbai and Pune with singer/songwriter Charmaine Lobo. Outside of music I am a trekking enthusiast.

Lessons plans:
Hobby learning (avg time: 4-6 months)
Guitar Basics (avg time: 6m - 1y)
Advanced Guitar (avg time: 1-3+ years)
Music Theory (avg time: 6m - 1y)
Ear Training (avg time: 6m - 1y)
Coaching for Trinity Rock & Pop and Rockschool certification exams.

All lessons are for ages 5 and above.
I personally recommend only music theory and ear training from the age of 5 and regular guitar lessons from the age of 7. But if focus and physical ability is not a problem we can begin proper guitar lessons from the age of 5 as well.

I can provide convenient practice strategies and personalize lessons based on each individual's strengths and weaknesses. Lesson pacing is also determined by the student. If they need more time, they just need more time. I adopt new information and methods into my teaching as my own knowledge improves and, as a result, my lessons, physical and technical skills, creative strategies and other aspects of music are always being updated. Classes are one-on-one for online and private sessions.

I focus a lot on mastering the instrument like an extension and expression of oneself. Everyone has their own unique flavor and perspective about music which makes it different for everyone that learns and instrument. This approach inadvertently puts songs at the bottom of the priority list.
I use songs as a way to practically apply lessons instead of learning them for the sake of learning. If one learns to play the guitar well they can learn any song they want on their own. And I would be happy to help polish out the rough edges. But in class, lessons take priority over the result of the lessons (i.e. songs).

Details

The localities I primarily travel between are Dahisar to Malad for home sessions, incurring minimal travel costs.
The travel costs increase from Goregaon to south Bombay depending on the travel time and distance. It is recommended to opt for an online session if you reside beyond Andheri to offset the increase in fees.
