What do you cover?
We will always cater our lessons to suit your needs. However, we will always recommend learning a certain way as we have found in our experience it tends to get the best for anyone learning.
We usually go through some similar steps for your first couple of months until you start advancing and wanting to learn a specific style etc..
This is:
Week one:
In the first week you will learn how to hold the guitar, the notes on the string, you hand position and how to play the strings with the right hand (unless you’re left handed).
We teach you some of the notes on a piece of music and how they correspond with your guitar. (There is several other little bits but we don’t want to bore you with too much detail).
Week two:
We start by showing you some basic music pieces and playing alternate strings. This is what Youtube will never be able to show you.
We teach you the correct position and how to apply the right pressure in the right way. Using online videos is all well and good when you’re a little more advanced but it can be a crucial error for beginners.
This is because it can teach you some really poor habits that you do not know you’re doing wrong. Once you have got into the bad habits, it’s a lot harder to get out of them!
Week three:
This is where you start using more of your left hand and begin to learn most of the notes of a C scale and how it corresponds to your music score.
This gets you used to reading of the music score and playing. We also introduce you to some chords!
Week four:
Practicing chords and how to get them sounding out correctly. Also progressing with the classical style guitar pieces and linking them together.
Week five:
This is where (if you’ve been practicing correctly) you will start to be able to play simplified songs. We usually have two themes running in a guitar lesson and for your home practice. These are;
Learning music and technical pieces and learning the songs you like to play.
It generally takes around 10 weeks to really start getting to grips with the guitar. Some people are quicker, some slower but it mainly comes down to: PRACTICE!
We could be the best teachers in the world (we may be, who knows!) but if you don’t practice both yours and our hard earned efforts will not get anywhere.
Whether you have having guitar lessons for beginners or you are having guitar lessons as a more advanced player, you will not see a marked improvement if you only play during your lesson. We didn’t get good by sitting around and watching TV!
What should my practice routine be?
The more the merrier although we do understand as a beginner it can be a little tough on the fingers so try and do little and often. When you are waiting for the kettle to boil pick up and play.
When you are cooking dinner, pick up and play. When you have just got in from school or work, pick up and play, it will soon make a difference.
We recommend as a beginner to practice around 10-15 minutes per day if possible.
How do I practice?
Practice the pieces your instructor has given you. Not until you get them right, you should practice until you can’t get them wrong! We have periodic rewards for students if they show they have been practicing well so it is worth it!
Practice what is given to you and make sure you are in time! Timing is crucial, the notes will come but timing can throw everything out. The best thing to do is to google ‘metronome’ and play along with the click track.
In or out of the practice room, we do offer on-going support so do not be afraid to ask. We can talk you through any difficulties you may face.
When can I have lessons?
We are normally pretty flexible so please notify us as to when you require lessons. Evenings and weekends are usually the most free so please ask.
