The School Of Six Strings

You don’t have to put it hundreds of hours hard work before you can play a song you like. My students begin playing real music from lesson 1. They learn skills in the context of real music. By the time they complete their beginners course, they’ve played 25+ pieces of music.

Learning to play isn’t all about practise routines, it must include actual playing.

Hats off to my young student Jayden, who's nearing the completion of his level 1 skills course 🎸This video captures Jayden's progress just a month into our lessons, and it's incredible to see how his musical skills have flourished.

What looks like a fun play-along, is actually a showcase of Jayden's ability to navigate complex finger placement, hand coordination, music reading, and timing - a remarkable display of skill and concentration. The benefits of music education on children's cognitive abilities are well-documented and unsurprisingly correlate to an increase in academic performance.
