Guitar Courses at the London Music School
At the London Music School we run a variety of unique and challenging guitar courses, from our one year BTEC National Award in Music Performance, to our own LMS Performance and Production Courses. We also offer a variety of part-time courses, and an intensive two-week Summer Course. All of our courses are unique and flexible, placing emphasis on what each individual student needs in order to develop their technical ability and practical experience as a musician. We always place emphasis on the need to perform and our students gain varied experience in solo performance, session playing, accompaniment skills and playing in a band.
Directed by experienced guitarist Kevin Keating, our courses aim to take students on a rewarding journey through contemporary music education as they develop their skill and confidence with their instrument. Kevin’s years of experience in the business coupled with his skilful mastery of diverse styles of playing - Rock, Classical, Blues, Soul, Jazz, Flamenco etc - mean that students get the chance not only to focus on their preferred genre but also to vastly broaden their musical range.
Course Subjects
All of our full time guitar courses cover the key areas of technical skill associated with playing the guitar, such as use of the fingerboard and the application of various playing techniques. The London Music School offers unrivalled one-to-one tuition, harmony and theory classes, and song-writing and sight-reading lessons. Full time courses include frequent participation in group workshops, rhythm workshops and recording sessions, giving students the opportunity to widen their experience in live performance and recording settings, working with other musicians and accompanying vocalists.
