Item Description
Lead guitar player, Lenny Gill, of the band Bye Bye Blackbird, has been teaching music since 1980. The high bidder wins two half-hour lessons at his Redwood Heights studio, where he teaches guitar, bass, drums, and ukelele to students of all ages and skill levels.
More Than Just Learning An Instrument
Lenny says, ”Overall, I hope to give students a greater appreciation of music as well as the increased self-confidence that comes with the achievement of any goal. Ultimately, music lessons are not simply about learning an instrument. At the risk of sounding a bit “over the top,” I would say that music lessons are one of the best ways we can enrich our lives and become better people."
Ukelele:
"Whether you have a young child who may be too small for guitar, or you’re someone who would like to learn to strum some songs and wants an inexpensive and (relatively) easy instrument to learn, the ukulele can bring a lot of joy and fun in your life! Many of my ukulele students have found that learning the uke was a great first step to learning guitar, while others stayed with the uke and became quite proficient at it."
Guitar:
"We can work on chords, riffs, reading, theory, or any other needs you have. You can be playing songs within the first month of lessons! More advanced students can learn to solo by starting with simple leads from my vast collection of materials."
Bass:
"I’ll make sure you have the proper technique to play “in the groove.” Playing with recordings is emphasized so the student can learn how to play in the context of a song. You will learn enough theory (scales, 12 bar blues, etc.) so that you can “jam” with friends even if they don’t know the same songs you do."
Drums:
"As with bass, playing along with recordings is emphasized so students can learn the role of the drummer in a band. Plenty of beats and fills will be assigned to develop a vocabulary that can be used in a variety of styles. Drummers are always needed for the band lessons, so you won’t have to wait long to start playing with other students!"
