WHY THIS TOPIC?

THE GUITAR

I chose this subject because it is something very impactful in my life. I started playing the guitar at the age of six when I received my first guitar on my birthday. That year, I enrolled in a music school in my hometown and then in 2018 I switched to private lessons with a musician, once a week for one hour.

How to learn the guitar

CONSERVATORY

Extended Curriculum

The conservatory curriculum is designed to cover all aspects of music education

Credibility

A degree or certificate from a reputable conservatory carries significant weight in the music industry

Recitals and Concerts

Students often have frequent opportunities to perform in recitals, concerts and masterclasses

PRIVATE LESSONS

Flexibility

Usually, in private lessons, there is some flexibility in the schedule of the classes

Customized Learning

Private lessons offer classes focused on each person centring on their skills

Private Mentor

A private mentor can guide his students not only in music but also in career aspirations and interests

SELF-TAUGHT

Sense of realization

By learning how to play the guitar by ourselves we have a feeling of fulfilment and realization

Learn at our pace

We can learn at the speed we want and without the pressure of fulfilling any requirement imposed by others

Freedom

By learning by ourselves we can learn the musics we want of the genre we want and of the music/band we decide

OPINION

In my opinion the best way to start with an instrument is a music school/conservatory because there we can try multiple instruments and learn what suits us. After training the basics, I believe that something less strict is the best path due to the fact that lessons in this schools may become very stressing and tiring when conjugated with others duties (for example school). But each person is different so each person must choose the path that best suits them.
