notes for budding music students

bulletIf you are serious about learning music and do not have the divine gifts of a Mozart or a Stevie Wonder then ONE to ONE tuition with a good teacher is usually the best method. Even the most gifted musicians need much help in developing the crucial technical skills and appreciating the importance of the work ethic.

 

bulletBecause we are all unique souls there will probably never be a great musician that has honed his/her skill from a computer training course or any other quick and easy method. Music is lot's of fun but hard work can be become more enjoyable and certainly more fulfilling than just having fun!
The famous concert musician who doesn't practise scales and exercises daily is probably yet to be born.
 


bulletWe don't say these things because we want to drum up business and make money. I have never actually received an enquiry from the internet. The chances are you live in a another country or at least out of my local area. The vast majority of good private music teachers will not be looking for pupils anyhow. But they will often find room for someone who genuinely wants to learn.
 

bulletAny good music teacher knows how to devise teaching methods that suit every INDIVIDUAL and draw out the potential that exists in us all.
The best music teachers have actually BEEN where there students want to go. They have actually succeeded to a certain extent as a performer themselves. They will understand that to really perform requires dedication and sacrifice.

bulletGenuine love and appreciation for music is probably the closest thing to spirituality in that it can move, inspire and evoke powerful emotions to depths we could never reach any other way. That is why most of the greatest soul singers come from 'gospel' backgrounds.
 
 

 bulletIf playing music is still the thing you want to do then be prepared for regular practise sessions. (15-20 minutes 5 or 6 days a week is far better than 6 hours every Saturday) Concentrate on making small improvements to area's needing attention rather than just ploughing through all the material, mistakes and all - and remember, every time you practise mistakes you are actually telling your brain to record that faulty sequence of notes.... BE PATIENT - hard work is always rewarded.
