Description
For those who want to learn music but haven't decided which instrument, or can't afford the one they want:
This course hones your rhythm in a groundbreaking new way with body percussion beats. You don't need an instrument to do this course, nor any prior musical experience. Ideally suited for homeschool curriculums, or extra-mural musicians, this course builds a strong foundation in rhythm.
Rhythm is music's most essential skill, and is actually the feature that defines what music is. All music has patterns that the human mind can hear and understand. A person's 'feel' for the flow of music is an indispensable skill which every musician must learn. This course goes directly to the heart of that skill.
Having rigorously developed a person's feel for music, along with hand eye co-ordination and timing, a student will be much better equipped to face the challenges of learning and mastering music by the end of this course.
Our system for writing music is what makes this course unique. Using graphic notation, we have simplified the process of learning to read music immensely. This makes written music like a picture, and is the perfect stepping stone for people who want to learn traditional music notation later.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner musicians from the age of 7 upwards

I'm a teacher and musician based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I am passionate about teaching music to all people. I teach kids as young as 3, instilling basic skills and a love for music; while I also teach piano and guitar to advanced levels. I am proficient on percussion instruments, as well as a few wind instruments as well. I also love production, composition, and performance.
I have been teacher since 2013, having begun playing music in 1999 (my first instrument was the recorder, which I played in the school orchestra). I love serving on the band at my local church, and enjoy bringing music into the home, where my wife and children sing and play along.
