What
age do you start teaching from?
This depends
on the child, some start at 7 or 8 and do really well, while for
others you might be best waiting until they are 10 or over.
How
much do lessons cost?
Private lessons:
£16.50 per half hour
Semi private lessons: £22 each per hour, or £16.50 each
per 45 mins
Group lessons: around £12-£14 per hour (depending on the course)
Am
I too old?
You're never
too old! You might not make it to be the next Eric Clapton, but
there's nothing stopping you learning an instrument to a high enough
standard to have fun with it.
Can
I sit in on my child's lesson?
If it's a private
lesson, yes you are most welcome to come and sit in. In fact it's
a great way to see how your child is progressing and to get a feel
for what the lessons are like.
We don't allow
anyone to watch any of the group lessons/workshops as it is unfair
to the other students who may get nervous with someone unfamiliar
watching.
Can
I have a lesson at the same time each week?
Yes. You can
reserve a time slot and you will be booked in for this time each
week. If for some reason you can't attend one week, just let us
know with plenty of notice.
If you attend
group lessons the term is scheduled in advance and you will be given
the dates before booking.
Do
you charge a cancellation fee?
Yes, for private
lessons with less than 24hrs notice. For more info on cancellation
charges click
here.
Will
I have opportunities to play live?
Yes. Goodall
Guitar School holds many different events and workshops that give
you the chance to play live and/or in front of a supportive audience.
Can
I book lessons via email?
Yes. Once you
have had you're first lesson you can then book via email.
Can
I learn to play in a band?
Yes. All the
skills you learn during your lessons will be put to good use if
you want to join a band or are in one already. There are also Band
Workshops that enable you to play along in a full band while gaining
help and advice from experienced tutors and those who attend the
group lessons have the opportunity to practice with a full band
(bass, drums, vocals and guitar) every term.
Can
I learn with a friend?
Yes, learning
with a friend can not only be great fun but also lets you practice
what you've been learning in your own time together while helping
each other out. You can either join a group or opt for semi private
lessons.
Do
you teach acoustic or electric guitar?
Both.
Do
you teach bass guitar?
Sorry, not in
regular lessons. During band workshops there is an oportunity for
bassists to sign up and be taught by a bass tutor during the workshop.
Same goes for drums.
Can
I take exams?
Currently Goodall
Guitar School doesn't offer any form of exams, but will do in the
future.
Can
I network with other students?
Yes. Joining
a group, or attending an event is a good way to meet other students.
We also have a forum
to chat on and are on Facebook
and MySpace.
