When you come to the Australian Guitar Institute you are treated as an individual. I listen to what you’re goals and needs are, and then create a program to get you up to speed.
Your tuition is based on my own experience in Los Angeles studying at the Musicians Institute and over 20-years or professional teaching in Perth.
Lessons will cover the following main areas of guitar playing and tuition.
We’ll start at the very beginning, and learn about the first steps that need to be taken (like buying an instrument) and what to expect on this lifetime journey of playing the guitar.
An introduction to rhytmic structures and harmony as it is applied to the guitar fingerboard.
Musical notation and diatonic structures, including rhythmic values, time signatures, natural minor scales and key signatures, harmonized minor scales diatonic seventh chords, and key centres.
An introduction to the fundamentals of guitar playing, including picking styles, performance techniques, and fretboard organization. The five-pattern scale concept is applied to major and minor diatonic scales and triad arpeggios in various keys.
Develop the fundamentals of music reading in open position and the middle of the fretboard; including counting and reading basic rhythmic figures and rests in double and triple meters as well as chart-reading symbols and terminology.
An introduction to Ear Training as it applies to popular music. Areas of focus include matching pitch, major scale melodies, and melodic intervals in the context of examples drawn from contemporary popular music.
