Some useful Ideas we explore here:
Have Fun Be AwesomeTM is the theme AND the goal.
You should learn how to make the sounds you love first, as a way of motivating and rewarding yourself for doing frequently necessary hard work.
Inflection points rock.: There are techniques, ideas, shortcuts that give significant, noticeable advantage to learners; moments when significant changes may occur. Let's find them and use them.
MMIWTE - Making music is worth the effort. It's a bit of a maze out there knowing where to turn, where to start. This is a good and safe place to get that process going.
Your personality affects everything you do. Learn about how YOU learn, play, think, and progress.
Your goal is comfortable, skillful singing and playing.
To play awesomely you have to have skills and righteous skills take time and work and that is called practice. But MMIWTE.
The point of learning music is to perform whole pieces, not study or practice or take lessons, or play little licks and snippets of songs. If you’re not playing whole songs, you’re failing. But you can fix this and I can help.
90% of musical success is about muscle memory and performance skills (sad but true), not knowledge or information. A little information, liberally applied.
Like it or not, attitude in performing goes a long way. We've got to get used to at least a little strength, conviction in our performances.
Tradition does not equal success. But sometimes it contributes greatly to success.
System and order make musical success come more quickly, like learning to throw a ball or ride a bike. We can use this to grow quickly.
