Personal Statement:
|
Check out my WholeNote Home Page here: http://www.wholenote.com/members/michaelkalember There is a lot more info on me there, including photos.
There is more to music than simply learning songs... While this is part and partial of the process, it is important that we cover the basics such as ear-training, rhythmic exercise, musicality, and playing technique. And, in order to fully grasp the whole concept of what music is and how it works, an on-going study of harmony and theory are essential. And most critical is time spent practicing, as this is what binds it all together... In other words, if you don't practice regularly, i'm not really interested in teaching you!!
