This form is for individual or group lessons on guitar (acoustic and electric) Ukulele and bass guitar at Takapuna Normal Intermediate School.
Along with learning and continuing to learn their choice of instrument, these classes also focus on group participation and collaboration.
By the end of the year students will have had experience:
-Working on, learning songs and music they want to learn to play.
-Having access to custom made Online lessons at home and in class.
-Having an understanding of musical theory.
-Seeing the results of practice at home.
-Taking part in skills level tests.
-Jamming with other musicians on songs we have worked on in class and performing them as a group.
-Assembly performances/lunchtime concerts (optional)
New students will receive a basic song/workbook as part of the course fee but are required to also bring a Capo ($25) and electronic tuner ($35) to classes by the end of term 1.
These can be ordered in class.
Back pack guitar gig-bags (for bikers), leads, beginner guitar or bass packs, straps, picks, pick holders etc are also available if required.
All school lessons this year only happen on Tuesday's & Wednesday's so some lessons will take place over interval and lunchtimes.
Please let me know if you have a preference, the quicker your child can sign up the more likely the chance of having lessons in classroom time and not Interval/lunchtimes.
Please note also class numbers are limited. Single and duo lesson spots are limited.
Takapuna Normal Intermediate School is all about 'sticking with it' and not giving up when things get hard.
This ethic carries on with every activity or educational initiative that takes place in the school.
If you are a beginner at anything it will take 6-9 months (with practice) to learn the basics after that progress becomes quicker and easier.
Students are expected to practice at home, try their best and reap the rewards that come with commitment to music lessons.
Make up lessons.
Make up lessons can be arranged for students who are away on school trips, representing the school, sick or attending a funeral only, not holidays in term time or if a student forgets.
Missed lessons must completed before the end of the semester they are required for.
Heath will be in contact with each student and parent as soon as the lesson times have been organised. Please do not pay any money until you have received Heath's invoice via email.
