Hi Everyone,
The results for the Theory of Music exams in 2012 are finalised and there was a fantastic result from students at the Glenelg Guitar Studio. It’s really great to see so many students, aged from 10-80, decide to undertake the exams.
Everyone has their own reason for following a more formal path of learning, however I see that it improves their playing and pleasure by increasing confidence. Confidence means a greater understanding of the music and what they can achieve as well as broadening the range, styles and types of music they can play.
If you are interested in learning more about how undertaking theory of music exams can accelerate your Guitar playing please have a chat with me at your next lesson.

Hi from Bagdad
As I am confined to the base (a small 2 storey house with bedrooms upstairs and offices downstairs, surrounded by high wall with razor wire and 3 armed guards 24/7) for much of the time, there is no excuse for no guitar practice. I have been learning the blues scales and doing the practice routines. As you know, you tube has lots of info. Life here is always interesting, my main focus has been on training locals (in collaboration with Iraqi ministry of health) etc in setting up mental health programs in a few hospitals and primary health care units. Also been involved with 2 refugee camps on Syrian borders with Iraq and Jordan. Conditions are pretty crappy for Syrian refugees, who for January were crossing the border into Jordan in their thousands every night. Practicing guitar is a great distraction. cheers Malcolm
