Intellectual individual who seems to be good at managing both singing and guitar lessons. Whenever in doubt, she didn't hesitate to ask questions. Happy going and ideally an attentive student.

Mr Raafik is a very talented and charismatic person. His passion towards music are undescribable. He have a strong teaching skill and method that attracts age range group from 4yrold - 60yrold person. The way he conducted the lesson are so fun, simplified and the way how he ease to learn the music technique nor the music notes become so easy and his idea are super brilliant updated. I recommed him for anyone that interested to learn music since he is able to build your confidence from zero to a certain level and if you doesnt know how to sing or play music with Mr Raafik guidance youll become as talented as other in music. Worth to sign up, worth your money and worth the experience youll gain.

Raafik has given guitar lessons to my younger daughter for several years. He made his lessons very interesting and motivated my daughter's interest from having zero guitar knowledge to being someone who plays very well. Raafik himself too has great music knowledge and background, as well as with extremely pleasant personality & genuine teaching interest and is a talented music tutor. He is indeed reliable and a trustworthy tutor and we strongly vouch for his personality.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?
I had developed my passion for music ever since at the age of 10 years old. Apparently the guitar was my favourite instrument back then.
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
I am currently listening to jazz rock bass line as its music knowledge intrigues me.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
An idea would be Indian Carnatic music. It is due to their complexity on both rhythmic as well as its melody
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
I would personally think it is singing because some may or may not achieve attaining the "whistle notes register"
What are your keys to success?
Strong determination.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Unfortunately they have all passed on. First I would go for Michael Jackson for his incredible Vocal energy. Secondly it would be Jimi Hendrix for his amazing guitar works and idea. Last but not least, Mozart for his exceptionally beautiful composition.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
This might be funny story.... A friend of mine wanted to drop out of the music institute as he had dilemma to choose between the music and the finance course. He is contemplating as to whether could he ever live his life doing finance. I gave a powerful advice that changed his life to be a successful composer to this very day. "With every air we breath in and that the heartbeat is already a rhythmic notion. Every speech and sound that resonates from our vocal cord and into our ears are melody. That's the core of lives."
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
Knowledge, Simple explanations and Inspiration.
