May 13, 2013
Here’s a comment I receive every once in a while from a student, when I contact him/her again to set up the next lesson the following week: I'm struggling with my chords right now, and don't want to waste a lesson until I master my C, F and G chords a little! I typically rep...

4. Going For Cheaper Music Lessons Costs You Dearly
May 08, 2013

9. The Footsteps Metronome: Counting while Walking
March 19, 2013
One of the things many music students find challenging, is the ability to evenly perform rhythms combining odd and even subdivisions.

10. How to figure out the key to a song
March 12, 2013
