What we teach
Lessons on the instruments in a band
A lesson is 30 or 45 minutes. It can be private or shared, on its own or beside a band.
Guitar
Electric and acoustic. Chords and riffs first, then rhythm and lead parts, with songs you know.
Bass
Locking in with the drummer, finding the root and keeping the groove steady.
Drums
Grip, groove and fills on a kit and a practice pad, with a metronome and a band to play with.
Keys
Chords, bass lines and parts that fit a band, from a first scale to a solo.
Vocals
Finding your range, breathing and singing into a microphone in a band that is playing loud.
Songwriting
Putting words and a chord progression together, and bringing it to your band.
A lesson
What happens in a lesson
- 01
Step 1: A warm-up
A few minutes on the things you already know, so your hands and ears are ready.
- 02
Step 2: New material
Something new to learn, shown slowly and then at speed, with your own songs mixed in.
- 03
Step 3: A plan for the week
Your teacher writes down what to practice, and your band's set is part of it.
At home
What to have at home
A guitar or bass that stays in tune, a practice pad and sticks, or a keyboard, is enough to begin. Ask your teacher before you buy or rent; the rehearsal rooms have amps and a drum kit.
How rental works is on the tuition page.
