What is a Contemporary Music Lesson and Who is it For?

A contemporary approach to music lessons is perfect for the student that requires a more engaging learning environment. Many new students, with previous lesson experience, typically say the same things during their trial lesson. "My old teacher never gave me music I enjoyed or even recognized." They would also say, "My teacher was not very positive or enthusiastic." A contemporary approach to music lesson addresses these issues head-on by giving each student the musical freedom of choice. In many cases, letting the personal tastes of each student influence the lesson plan, can make the difference between a student wanting to CONTINUE or wanting to QUIT. It is also important to infuse the creative elements of music that most traditional teachers leave out such as improvisation, simple songwriting, and the art of using chords to create music. It is also important for a teacher to develop a genuine positive relationship with each student focused on building the student up...not tearing them down.
