Acoustic and Electric Guitar Instruction: By Myron LeRoy

Myron has been playing guitar for over 30 years. A professional musician for over two decades, he has played rhythm and lead guitar in a variety of bands ranging from Blues to Country to Zydeco. He has been writing, recording, and producing since the seventies. He is currently the managing engineer of ĪThe StudioĢ, a full service digital recording facility.

His focus is teaching the individual. Stressing the fundamentals, helping them to achieve their own personal goals in playing the guitar, while having fun in the process.

He will teach as much, or as little, music theory as desired.

Lessons: I believe that music lessons of any kind should be something that children would not only want to learn but also have fun with and love doing. With that in mind, I have put together a two year program (outlined below) that will give the student the basic knowledge and skills needed in playing drums for most musical situations (Gigs). For Advanced Students there is also a one year, or third year, program that is available upon request. Lessons are tailored to individual students according to their ability and progress.

All lessons are taught on and applied to a Full Drum Set.

Year One:
1. Basic Grip and Stick Control
2. Basic Rock Beats
3. Essential Rudiments as applied to drum set.
4. Basic Theory, Quarter Notes and Eighth Notes in 4/4 Time Signature
5. Basic Drum Fills
6. Basic Playing by Ear (Learning to Hear Music)

Year Two:
1. Advanced Rock Beats, Syncopated Rhythms
2. Advanced Drum Fills, 16 th and 32 nd Notes
3. Common Odd Time Signatures, 2/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc.
