Why choose the Creative Guitar School
My learning program not only teaches you to play the guitar, that is to move your fingers to create music, but above all, you will learn to understand the language of music, the how to create music and how music works.
Guitar students in all lessons will develop skills in:
Ear Training: To help us compose, memorise a composition, improvise with ease, transcribe our favourite songs and write our own songs.
Performance: Melody, accompaniment, improvisation.
Harmony: Music theory to help us play and compose with uniqueness using the guitar as our tool.
Educational objectives
After completing the first two levels, you will be able to choose a song you like, figure out it’s chords in any key, play the melody, play a simple solo and perform the song in a group setting as lead or rhythm guitar. Furthermore you will also be able to compose simple songs.
This is all great fun, and it requires a structured pathway and your commitment to learning.
Your final goal is to play the guitar in contemporary styles of music, but creating artistic expression as a soloist, accompanist and composer. Therefore the more levels you complete of your Melbourne Guitar lessons the more diversified your artistic expression will be.
