Raa Students, Raa Parents, and visitors,
Due to the Covid19 epidemic, learning for the 4th 9 weeks of the 2019-2020 school year will proceed online. I will be regularly posting videos and links under the "lessons" tab of this website. These lessons will apply to three different groups; there will be a category for Beginning Guitar students, Advanced Guitar students, and for those who need general music instruction rather than guitar lessons because they have no guitar at home. Each week you should submit or practice or listening log. You do not need to do both. You are free to do only practice logs, only listening logs, or a combination of both. Please practice or watch the videos two times a week (at least) and email me by Sunday of every week what days you practiced/listened and what you practiced/listened. I should receive your first email by April 11, 2020. Email your practice logs, listening logs, and/or questions to me at: [email protected].
Your practice log should look something like this:
On April 6 I practiced the video on 3rd string notes.
On April 8 I practiced the video on fingerpicking.
On April 10 I learned a song by Adele from my uncle. (Not all learning has to be through my videos).
If you do listening logs instead of practice logs, it should look something like this:
On April 6 I followed along with video #1 on rhythm.
On April 7 I listened to the video on Blues guitar.
On April 9 I followed along with video #2 on rhythm.
I will only accept material that I have posted for the listening log.
Hope that helps! I will be adding videos several times a week, so keep checking back.
Stay safe, stay happy, and keep practicing!
Miss you guys,
Mr. Lessard
