We are committed to bringing enjoyment to aspiring musicians who seek to expand their musical knowledge, technique and understanding. The Homespun tradition – variety, quality, substance! STARTING LEVELS OF THE LESSONS 1. Novice: No prior experience on your instrument is necessary. The instructor starts with the assumption that this is your very first lesson. 2. Near-Beginner: Instructor assumes that you have not been playing very long, but know the basics. The material is still at a very easy level, but certain elementary things are not explained. 3. Early Intermediate: You have been playing a while and can play some songs and/or instrumentals without too much difficulty. Now you want to move into specific styles, develop your repertoire and increase your technique. The instructor still covers the material in detail, but there are more challenges. 4. Intermediate: You have good technique and a working knowledge of your instrument, but want to break out of patterns and get “unstuck” in order to move on to more advanced material. Tapes at this level should push you into new areas, develop confidence and a deeper musical understanding so you can start to improvise. 5. Advanced Intermediate: The instructor does not provide as much detail, and works on material that will bring you to an advanced or professional level. As in all our lessons, important musical concepts are covered, and more stimulating and demanding material is provided for anyone looking for a real challenge. All: No specific level can be attributed to this lesson, so it is suitable for anyoue who wants to give it a try.
