Questions
F.A.Q.
I've never played the guitar before and I also don't know how to read music. Can I attend the specific courses?
The answer is of course YES!
A beginner student with no previous musical experience and training will be properly prepared and get the right foundation for their own unique musical journey.
In addition, learning musical notation and music theory are an integral part of our courses.
Are music theory courses necessary?
Theory lessons will help you analyze and understand your musical listening.
That way, you'll benefit as performers as well as creators yourself!
The language of communication between musicians is common and also knowing musical notation will help you communicate more easily in a musical environment.
What is the content of the guitar lessons?
The content of the lessons depends on the current abilities of each student, the wishes and the style that one wants to approach as well as the limitations that exist in each case. We therefore refer to flexible, personalized educational programs whose initial goal is to understand the operation of the instrument so that each one can individually evaluate his musical progress.
How many hours a day do I need to dedicate to my personal practice?
It depends on your personal goals.
But we could ask the specific question differently... How long would you like to play your favorite game?
What ages can attend the specific courses?
Lessons are for all ages and are tailored to each student's experiences and goals. Our musical journeys do not have a common starting point but neither do they have common destinations!
Upon completion of each training cycle, what are the certification possibilities?
Those interested in studying at the UK's largest Universities can prepare here properly, simultaneously taking the major Grades (6-8) exams and collecting the necessary UCAS points. Accordingly, those who wish to continue their studies at a higher level can, after obtaining the Grades, continue with the Professional Diplomas offered by the University of West London, obtaining an INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED title.
Professional Diplomas:
♦ Diploma of the London College of Music (DipLCM)
♦ Associate of the London College of Music (ALCM)
♦ Licentiate of the London College of Music (LLCM)
♦ Fellow of the London College of Music (FLCM)
I am a classical guitarist who would like to get into jazz. Could you help me;
Absolutely. For a classically trained guitarist it is often difficult to approach Jazz guitar and improvisation, so I will be happy to support you in this endeavour.
