Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson with a beginner, my main goal is to make them feel comfortable and inspired. I start by asking a few quick questions to understand what kind of music they love and what motivated them to learn. From there, I give them a clear, simple path that connects directly to that style — whether it's learning a basic chord progression, a simple melody, or even just how to hold the instrument with confidence.
I don’t overload them with theory right away — instead, I show them how to make real music from day one. I’ll break things down in a way that’s easy to follow, and I’ll make sure they leave the first lesson hearing and playing something that excites them. At the same time, I lay the groundwork for proper technique and long-term growth, so they don’t pick up bad habits early on. My approach is patient, hands-on, and focused on building confidence, connection, and curiosity
Lesson 11+ the first 10 lessons, the focus shifts from just learning how to play into learning how to play well — with musicality, creativity, and confidence. This is where things get exciting.
Depending on their goals, we start working on more advanced skills like:
Improvisation and soloing
Understanding harmony and how songs are built
Learning songs by ear
Creating original ideas (riffs, progressions, melodies)
Developing groove and feel in different styles
Playing with backing tracks or live musicians
Applying theory in a way that makes sense and feels natural
We also start exploring their personal sound — shaping their phrasing, dynamics, and tone. Whether they want to write, record, play live, or just keep improving, I tailor the lessons to get them there.
My goal after lesson 10 is to develop them into a self-sufficient musician who doesn’t just copy — but creates, understands, and expresses. It becomes about mastery, not just memorization.
Lesson 4-10In lessons 4 and 10, beginners start to experience real breakthroughs. This is where the playing starts to feel more natural, and the instrument becomes something they can truly express themselves with.
We’ll start building a solid core of musical skills:
For guitar or piano, that includes clean chord transitions, rhythm confidence, and playing full songs.
For bass, it means locking into grooves, learning basic fills, and developing pocket.
Across all instruments, I start introducing ear training, simple improvisation, and foundational music theory — always tied to the kind of music they love.
By lesson 6 or 7, most students can confidently play along with recordings or jam tracks. I also begin teaching how to build and memorize chord progressions, recognize common patterns in songs, and improvise over simple changes.
By lesson 10, they’ll not only be playing real music, but also understanding what they’re doing — with a clear path forward. My goal is to make sure they’re not just memorizing things, but truly growing into independent, expressive musicians with a strong foundation.
