Teaching philosophy Music Theory: 

It is Egbert's believe that being able to read the music and understand it is necessary for every musician, whether amateur or professional. Often students are more interested in playing their instrument or singing than in learning theory. However, it is really rewarding to explore deeper understanding of the music one is performing and to enhance musicianship. Some students like to study for exams; others prefer to focus on deepening understanding without wanting to take exams; all are welcome! 

Lessons are being given in a professional music room on the Isle of Skye, Scotland for local students or online by using Skype, Zoom, Facetime or WhatsApp (students choice) for long distance students.
