BEGINNERS
Within six months, you will learn the basics and be able to:
- Read sheet music
- Understand and play scales and arpeggios
- Guitar students will learn how play simple chords
- Understand how to practice
INTERMEDIATE
Intermediate students will learn to play songs, improve technique, and sight reading skills. Music theory is also presented during lessons so students will understand the "big picture" of how music works.
To progress students should:
- Practice regularly -- 30 minutes per day, or two hours per week
- Perform with others and alone in front of an audience
- Watch and listen to professional musicians play their instrument of choice
Why not learn to play a stringed instrument today? I'm happy to help and share what I've learned from my musical journey.
