If somebody is a complete beginner, we'll likely begin by learning about basic elements of music (pitch, rhythm) as well as basics of the instrument (tuning, right hand/left hand placement and technique).

Starting from a strong foundation will allow the student to progress much faster and helps keep them from getting discouraged. Read More
