Music surrounds us. From the minute we are conscious of sound, music filters into our brains. The rhythmic sounds of a heart beat or voices, a lullaby to send us to sleep. Birdsong, a street side orchestra, and as we get older we find bands and singers that we enjoy, and perhaps even begin to play music ourselves!
There is no wrong or right music! A sequence of notes, a rhythm, a lesson can be found in every song. Students who are learning about the music they enjoy will be more likely to practice, and, as they say, practice makes perfect. Students will progress faster and become more proficient, making learning harder things that much easier for both teacher and learner!
Music lessons should be dynamic. Music is not something you can just memorise. It’s an artistic and creative expression.
A music teacher can spot a guitar student sitting in the wrong posture a mile away. It’s this eye for detail that make a skilled teacher important for the music student. Teachers at The Shine School of Music will guide students in fundamentals, setting each student up for life, honing their musical skills, and providing a platform to improve, expand and develop their musical repertoire.
