Your fees reserve a half hour a week in the schedule with a professional music teacher and you must pay for this time whether you attend or not. There are no exceptions to this policy. Feel free to try different teachers and different instruments, but remember to give a week's notice. Back to List Practice Time You will not progress if you do not practice. If you or your child does not have the personal time to commit to practice, it would be best not to take music lessons.
Music instruction is simply the focus of a week of practicing.
Practice is not always as much fun as a lesson but the repetition of skills teaches the coordination required and internalizes skills so that the next lesson may be taught. Back to List Specialty Courses Folk music is traditionally passed on by mouth rather than in books. Regional styles, unusual instruments and different techniques are best taught by workshops, group classes led by a specialist in a specific field. Some of the past workshops have been hosted by Tal Farlow, Lenny Breau, Dick Smith, Bill Kieth, Ian Tamblyn, Martin Simpson, Don Ross, Stan Rogers, The Boys of the Lough, The Rankin Family, Adrian Legg and hundreds of others. Workshops have included topics like how to yodel, slide guitar styles, blues vocals and many others.
