The 50th Annual Grammys indicate the changing capabilities of where people can learn to play guitar to a vocational standard.

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:00:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Sat, March 8th, 2008 -- The 50th Annual Grammy Awards are a stark reminder of what is required for a person to learn to play guitar to a vocational level and advances in technology means that one of the emerging places to learn guitar is with the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.GuitarCoaching.com). In previous days, this level of professionalism was only achievable at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles or at the Berklee College of Music in Boston but the advent of the internet means that a guitarist can hone their skills in the comfort of their own home and learn the skills to be a professional musician via their own “university without walls.”

Playing guitar is something that many people enjoy and although countless people harbor ambitions of becoming a professional guitarist one day, there are many problems that prevent them from doing so. Self-training can be fun but it is not true that practice makes perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect and when you consider that 98% of instructional guitar training material is not designed to train guitarists to the vocational standards of the industry, it is clear there are failings in the way that many people learn to play guitar.

The simplest way of solving these problems is to have a course that tells the student what to do, how to do it and to have a means of measuring their progress. The personal trainer program devised by the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio was created to remove all limitations of what can be achieved or accomplished on the guitar and to make each student fully aware of their own artistic potential.

Each module within the program contains a step-by-step instruction which follows on naturally from each previous step, there are video instructions which allow the student to study at their own pace and the “Progress Tracker” facility allows each student to chart their progress and to monitor the rate at which they learn to play guitar.

Existing testimonials already state how beneficial the program is for new and aspiring students and it is clear that this product will offer the opportunity for many people to play guitar at the required vocational level.

Mike Hayes Guitar Studio Helps People Learn Guitar Right On Time

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 00:00:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, October 19th, 2007 -- The Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.guitarcoaching.com) is excited to present a new addition to their list of courses that can help people learn guitar in a relatively short period of time. The new course is called Linear Sight Reading Course and can help individuals learn how to read standard music notation, something that many consider too difficult. Not being able to read music is one of the biggest issues that guitar players face and Mike Hayes has developed this course to make reading music easier than ever.

The inability to read music is often the reason that many people do not learn guitar even though it is something that they would like to do. To play guitar well one needs to understand standard music notation including the names of notes, the scale step numbers in all keys, as well as the location of notes on the music staff and on the fingerboard. The idea of learning all of this is overwhelming to many and has them quitting the guitar before it's ever really started.

Many people are interested in the Air Guitar Championships because one doesn't actually have to learn music to perform well. While air guitar performances are a lot of fun, beneath the fantasy world of the air guitar is a real interest in learning how to read music. Guitar TAB was invented so that people didn't really have to learn to read music, but it falls short, and is not as fulfilling as learning how to read music.

The Mike Hayes Guitar Studio has made it simple to learn guitar by offering a Linear Sight Reading Course. This course will help people learn how to read standard music notation, allowing for them to not only enjoy the air guitar and air guitar championships, but also to enjoy playing the guitar for real. The course has proven to be of service to many with one satisfied customer stating, "The course is varied, in-depth and well-structured, making learning and comprehension fast, thorough and enjoyable. It's a great way of learning, as you can pace yourself and move onto the next stage when you feel competent. I find this course both innovative and inspirational."

Mike Hayes Guitar Studio Creates Simple Learn to Play Guitar Program for All

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 00:00:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, August 17th, 2007 -- Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.guitarcoaching.com) is proud to announce a new program that will allow everyone to be a success with a desire to learn to play guitar. There are many games that have hit the market, such as Guitar Hero, that have many taking an interest in playing guitar. Why simply play on a game when you can actually learn to play the real thing? Games like this can be fun, but there is simply nothing like picking up a guitar and playing a song for real.

Many individuals that are interested in playing guitar don’t ever take it up because the videos that they purchased are very fast paced and don’t really show the individual how to play, instead they focus on how skilled the person is on the video. These videos are more confusing than anything and leave many feeling like they simply could not play guitar if they wanted to. Instructional videos also often overlook the basic fundamentals of playing the instrument and there is no real comprehensive instruction on how the instrument works.

Guitar 101 is Mike Hayes version of an instruction video that will allow people to learn to play guitar with relative ease. The video shows interested parties all of the basics and shows them how to apply these skills to become a true musician. One satisfied customer said, “After struggling for almost 30 years to try and ‘wring’ a tune out of a guitar, at last with the aid of this program, I’m actually producing recognizable tunes after only two weeks. I’ve tried all the rest, Mike’s program is the best!” Its reviews like these that allow the product to speak for itself.

Mike Hayes Guitar Studio Now Offers A Helpful Guitar Lesson For Anyone Who Wants To Learn Guitar Easily

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:00:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, Jun. 22nd, 2007 -- The Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (www.guitarcoaching.com) is proud to offer a new lead guitar super chops course. With this course, those who aspire to play guitar can learn that all music has the same roots, which makes it easier to learn guitar that ever before.

While there are over 3,500 music scales, this unique guitar lesson reveals that one only needs to know six of them to begin playing most popular songs on the guitar. With summer parties coming up, this is a great time to learn all six scales and start playing music in public, which always impresses friends and family members.

Many aspiring guitar players don’t realize that they only need to master six scales to play 70% of the songs that can be heard on the radio. Great songs such as "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen, "Jumpin Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones, and even "Layla" by Eric Clapton use the same basic notes. Thousands of other popular and well known songs use these same notes, as well.

When individuals learn these scales through this unique program, they will see the common thread that connects or relates each of the songs. When these tunes, riffs, and melodies are identified, it suddenly becomes easier to play by ear instead of trying to recall something that has been learned in the past.

One satisfied customer of the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio said of his experience with this guitar lesson plan, "After struggling for almost 30 years to try and ‘wring’ a tune out of a guitar, at last with the aid of this program I am actually producing recognizable tunes after only two weeks. I’ve tried all the rest, Mike’s program is the best."

This new book is an addition to the website’s growing catalog of complete lesson plans. This teacher lesson plan resource will allow for teachers to keep things interesting for their students without being overwhelmed with this fast paced technological subject.

Complicated lessons can suddenly become fun and simple with the help of the right resources.

Catherine Williams, who is a Year Six teacher at Southport State School, wanted some help with a technology based teacher lesson plan. She gives the previously mentioned program a great review, saying: "I have found the lesson plans great fun and an exciting learning experience for all of the students in my class. Now we are trying the stop motion animation lesson to produce a clip from a Rock n Roll era."

The clips created by Catherine Williams and her students can be found on the Lessonplans.com.au website for those considering this helpful handbook.

Even the best teachers need a bit of inspiration or help from time to time to come up with lessons that will teach students the basics, as well as the not so basic elements of the world of technology. Working with a resource that can cut out the planning stages of the lesson can provide just the services that teachers need to get excited and help students learn to use computers in increasingly new and exciting ways.

Online Teacher Now Offers Guitar Lessons For Real Life Application

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 00:00:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, Feb. 9th, 2007 -- Mike Hayes (www.guitarcoaching.com), renowned guitarist and teacher from Queensland, Australia, has developed a new method called Express Guitar that is geared to teach aspiring guitarists useful tunes in no time.

In the past, the best way to learn to play guitar was to practice basic chords and learn simple children’s tunes that were worthless in a setting where a player wants to impress a crowd. Hayes’ Express Guitar method focuses on simple chords that require only two to three fingers as a starting point, allowing students to build upon maintaining a "groove." Because the human response to music begins with rhythm, followed by melody and then harmony, the Express Guitar method hinges guitar lessons on building skills in this order.

In many cases, thick fingers or small hands play a role in the difficulty of learning to play guitars, making it hard for some to avoid accidentally pressing a string and causing others problems with reaching a string. Through Hayes’ impressive teaching method, new players are encouraged to design their own chord shapes that fit their hands and personal abilities.

Rev. Ron Leakey of Brooksville, Florida states: "I have tried books from the library and book store. I came across Express Guitar and wow, I am sold. I just love the way that the course is set up, simple precept upon precept. Express Guitar is the best teaching program out on the market today, bar none."

These guitar lessons start with learning a handful of chords in a way that is easy for beginning guitarists to use with untrained fingers. The simplified teaching tool allows new players to learn enough chords in just ten minutes to play some of the most well-known songs on the radio today, including hits by Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and more. Many songs are built off of the same simple chords, and it is quick and simple to build a catalog of 50 songs for a party.

Pip Price of The Red Lion Inn in England says, "I don’t have any spare time in my business, but Mike’s course allows me to fit in fifteen minutes a day and see results."

Anyone aspiring to learn to play guitar with little time on their hands and a lot of frustration at failed previous attempts can visit www.guitarcoaching.com to learn more about Mike Hayes’ new Express Guitar method.

New Teacher Lesson Plan Aids Help Instructors Make The Most Of Their Classroom Computer Time

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 15:02:00 PST

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Thurs, Nov. 16th, 2006 --Lessonplans.com.au (www.lessonplans.com.au) is proud to announce their new guide on planning. Using these teacher lesson plan aids, instructors can integrate computers and technology into everyday classroom activities. Using computers as a part of daily math, english, science, art, and social studies not only makes the subjects more interesting, but it helps students to learn new skills in a real world situation. These teacher lesson plan aids have been successfully used in thousands of classrooms worldwide.

Brad Hauck, Author, states: “Our teacher lesson plan aids save time and planning because they are written so that you can pick up the book and instruct your pupils straight off the page if you want to. Each aid is also written in such a way that instructors can apply it in different curriculum areas e.g. a database of rocks found in the school grounds could be expanded into a district database or tweaked so that it becomes a database of leaves, flowers, people, etc. This means that an instructor can learn a new lesson that can be applied in many different situations.”

David Clancy of Emerald State School, Australia has been integrating these aids into his thematic unit on Space. Using a combination teacher lesson plan aids from the Space Thematic Unit and from 25 Successful Microsoft Word Projects, the students have not only learned more about space, but also important basic skills that allow them to use Microsoft Word more effectively. Clancy says “The books were clear, direct, and easy to intergrate into my regular classroom practices, saving me both time and money.”
