winner

If you didn’t read my last blog my name is James Lane and I’m the proud winner of a Yamaha Guitar Scholarship at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. I’m going to share what I’ve been doing at the Institute and hopefully pass on a bit of information about playing and learning.

I’m currently on half term of Term two now, and it has flown by so fast. I’ll start by telling you a little about a couple of the lessons I’ve had this term.

Hi, my name is James Lane and I was the lucky winner of the Yamaha Guitar scholarship on the Institute’s Higher Diploma course. This is my first blog entry (so bear with me!) but my aim is to share some of my thoughts on playing and learning, give you some ideas about what’s going on here, and share some of my personal highlights from the first six weeks. So, here goes…

Every year our sponsors 'Marshall' give a scholarship to one lucky student. This years winner Declan Gaughan, is from Ireland and will be updating you with his diary every month. Here is his first entry from Februaury 2008.

We are nowin the 4th week of the 2nd term. The first term flew by and I really enjoyedit. My knowledge of music theory, the Fretboard and scaleshas greatly improved and I feel confident playing in our LPW's (Live PerformanceWorkshop) and RSS (Rhythm Section Skills) classes.
