The reason we learn an instrument, to make music! This areas focus is on learning actual songs and if done right can be used to include all three of the Pillars at once – song choice would be based on specific songs you want to learn and your ability level at a given time.
Category: The Three Pillars of Music Tuition
Although the Three Pillars and the various learning types apply to all people and age groups there is a slightly different approach to be taken when teaching Young Learners which differs from that used with Adult Learners:
The Theory behind the Music
Knowing even basic Theory is the difference between being given a fish and being taught how to fish for yourself! It allows you to understand why your doing the things your doing and can aid the learning process massively, helping you to recognise shapes and patterns on the Guitar that can help in areas like playing/jamming with other musicians; how far we go into music theory is, again, upto you (although I would definitely recommend covering some for the reasons above!)
Development of Technical Ability
This will involve encompass proper posture, how to hold a guitar, how to properly hold a note, chords, tips on how to get the most out of your practice sessions, what bad habits to avoid as well as more advanced techniques such as Sweep Picking, Tremolo picking and more depending on your level of ability and personal goals.
