A lesson
What a lesson is like
Every lesson follows the same three steps, whatever the instrument.
- 01
Step 1: A warm-up
Long tones, scales or rudiments, played slowly enough to listen to.
- 02
Step 2: New material
Your student's school music first, then anything the teacher adds for the next step.
- 03
Step 3: A plan for the week
Your teacher writes down what to practice and for how long, so practice at home has a shape.
Not sure which instrument?
A placement visit is a good place to find out. A teacher listens, and you leave with a match and a weekly time.
