This resource will be handy whenever you want to focus on rhythm. You can use it to come up with strumming patterns for the student to learn, rhythm exercises or even to simply learn how to read rhythm properly. It's worth printing a couple sheets off to have handy during lessons.
This resource is ideal for students who are learning to write their own music. Being able to write TAB, Standard Notation or both will give them plenty of ways to increase their understanding of music and improve their skills.
Although you won't need to teach Standard Notation to all your students, many will choose to learn it properly and will eventually write their own music using it. This resource will be handy for those students who can read and write Standard Notation.
This resource is extremely handy to give to all your students. When you teach your student how to improvise, they can start to write their licks and ideas down in TAB format. It's also handy if you come up with your own exercises you want to give your student as you can quickly write down the exercise and give it to them.
This worksheet is a great tool you can use to help your student track their progress. Not only will it encourage them to practice more often, but it will also help them improve their understanding of the fretboard and feel more confident with the notes. The test is simple to explain and students love seeing their scores improve over time on the graph.
After your student has memorized all the notes used in BBL-08, you can give them this lesson. This lesson will teach the notes on the sixth and final string. Many students have trouble reading the notes due to the ledger lines so take your time to make sure your student learns how to read the music properly from the beginning. The included lesson instructions will walk through the provided exercises and help reinforce the student's understanding of the music.
If your student had trouble with the chords in BBL-07, you can move on to this lesson before working on the chords again. This lesson will teach your student the notes on the fifth string as well as introduce some basic chords into the practice song. Some students have trouble reading notes on ledger lines so the included lesson instructions will help you explain the notes effectively.
Once your student feels comfortable with all the notes in the previous lessons, they can attempt to learn the basic chords in this lesson. Many students struggle to play chords so this lesson will help you ease the student into playing a few notes at once. The included lesson instructions will guide you through the best method to teach the simple chords and how the student should practice.
After your student can play the simple songs in BBL-05, they can continue to learn the notes on the fourth string. The exercises use notes across all four strings to help the student retain the information in earlier lessons.
After your student has memorized all the notes on the first three strings and completed lessons BBL-02, BBL-03 & BBL-04, they can learn the songs in this lesson. The songs are extremely simple and allow the student to use the notes across all three strings in a musical way (instead of exercises). The included lesson instructions will help you teach the songs effectively.
