Mike began to realise through his childcare
training and experience along with his personal experiences of learning that we are all very individual in the way we take on information. Some people learn academically some pictorially and others by
demonstration/practically. For some people colour is the best memory aid, for others, sound. Some have natural rhythm, some haven't. Mike
sees it as his responsibility to his students to discover their most effective way of learning. To this end he
utilises various models of learning assessment including Kolbs
and Flemings
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles)
Mike can teach you in all styles including, Acoustic (strum and finger picking) Electric (rhythm and lead) and Bass. Mike teaches
both right and left handed players You will learn chords, scales, lead licks,
song composition, rhythm's.
You will also learn Tablature which is an
easy notation method of reading and writing
guitar music although Mike also focuses on
development of the 'ear' as he believes
it to be essential that a musician can hear
if a tune is in key/pitch etc and can develop
an instinct for the right chords, lead licks
etc.
Mike strongly believes that the most effective
method of teaching is to make the lessons interesting by concentrating on actual songs/tunes rather
than pure exercise and theory and to this end the first introductory lesson is spent getting
to know the student and their likes/dislikes in order that a lesson plan is developed based upon their preferred genre. Still not sure? please feel free to
read the testimonials of some of our satisfied customers.
