1 hour per week. Practicing 3-4 times per week for 10-15 minutes each day is the best way to make progress on your instrument. Students should practice and be able to play the scale well before recording and submitting it for feedback from the teacher.Assessment
Each week, students will record themselves playing a scale and send it to the teacher. The teacher will listen to the recording and provide feedback each week.Grading
Instead of grades, students will earn "belts" similar to karate! As students pass off their scales, they will work towards earning a black belt at the end of the class.Class Experience
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this 8-week course, students will learn 8 of the major scales. Depending on your learner's experience level, I have included options for both beginners and experienced players. Each week, students will be given a scale to learn along with optional exercises to help them practice and improve. Each scale will be recorded and submitted to me for feedback.
