Srikanth N. — Guitar Teacher — Saint-Henri, Montreal

Srikanth est à l’écoute des besoins et adapte ses leçons en fonction. J’aime son approche car il lie la théorie avec la pratique. L’enseignement est complet. Je vois que j’ai progressé. Je suis très satisfaite.

Srikanth N, who I found through Musiprof, is an amazing instructor and musician! Before taking the private lesson I was following Youtube lessons here and there to get the basics. Not that Youtube lessons are bad (some are really good in fact), but they aren’t structured. The first lesson Srikanth and I went though ergonomics assessment: guitar setup, basic holding of guitar, finger positions, etc. which is by far the most critical step for me. Youtube instructors maybe teaching the right technics, but they never saw how I did, or what mistakes I made that prevented me from progressing and thus got me frustrated. An important tip I also received in the first lesson is to get a strap, after assessing my guitar size relative to my body size. I brought in a strap in the 2nd lesson, and it immediately helped relax my right arm, left wrist and fingers, making my finger reaches more extended. This is in a sharp contrast with the advice I received from a guitar shop staff when I purchased my guitar. The employee said that I didn’t need a strap yet since I am a super beginner, I’ll be sitting and practicing, standing up and playing is too far down the road. This employee was a very good non-pushing salesman and knowledgable of guitar playing, apparently he can give some good advice. But good is “not necessarily” professional, that’s where teacher like Srikanth stands out and can help guitar learners most effectively. I used to push myself go “faster” but now I take my time, lingering / focusing on every exercise until I feel that I’ve got the “passing grade” to move onto next one, thanks to Srikanth patience. He also introduces a little background of the origins of those exercises, country, folk/traditional/sea shanty, rock, etc. making the exercises much more fun and memorable. His approach is very structured too, following Hal Leonard Guitar Method book, so I know exactly what my “homework” is after each lesson and which one I should spend more time on. It motivates me to practice more regularly, 30~90 minutes per day. I used to think music staff is an alien thing that I’ll never get it, but eleven weeks in I start to crack it. I see myself making slow but steady progress, and I feel hopeful that my guitar skills can go somewhere. Srikanth also offers one of the most competitive rate in Montreal, especially for the talent and knowledge that he shares so expertly. I would highly recommend to every guitar learner, even you’re an advanced one.

Mon fils suit des cours de guitare avec M. Srikanth. Ça se passe super bien! Le prof est très professionnel , respectueux et organise bien les séances de cours de sorte à pouvoir avancer . Seul bémol, je suggère pour les débutants, cas de mon fils , de faire qlqs cours de musique en général avant de débuter la spécialisation. Autremnt bon rapport qualité/ prix et je recommande fortement cette école.
