Welcome to The Jam's Club
If you would like to learn to play music then it may be helpful to read below
If
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 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.
Because 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.
We
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.
Any
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 as a performer themselves. They will
understand that to really perform requires dedication and sacrifice.
Genuine
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.
If
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.
Practise doesn't necessarily make perfect
Perfect practice does!
