Each lesson is bespoke for the students needs, the lessons break down into three activities
- practical – for example picking techniques, practice pieces focused on developing one skill and making it fun
- studies – looking at songs or solos (ones you want to play) perhaps recording them which is also quite fun
- theory – for example composition techniques but can also include scales (some student don;t find leaning scales as much fun but the rewards of being fluent in the language of music is quite a reward)
