Though I generally advise a block of lessons so that we can work in detail, sometimes an Individual lesson is needed to either try it out or for a specific technique or tune that you need. I occasionally still book private lessons for myself when I get stuck on an instrument or need to figure something out and this option is as suited to a professional musician as to a learner that hasn't tried 1:1 teaching before. As it requires a little more preparation and scheduling time this option is a bit more expensive.
