Welcome to the online course

Welcome to Wokschool

Hey, how's it going? I'm James, and you've made a great choice by joining us!

Course Overview

This online web content is based on the Rock School syllabus and books, which contain loads of extra information, particularly about:

• Scales
• Arpeggios
• Sheet music

Important: If you're looking to do the exams, the book is required, so I highly recommend buying it if you plan to participate.

Course Structure

This course is divided into several sections:

1. Performance of the Pieces
2. Walkthrough and Analysis
   • Each piece will be analyzed by various musicians.
3. Technical Exercises
   • Including scales, arpeggios, chord voicings, etc.
4. Sight Reading
   • A short excerpt about the best approaches to improve this skill.
5. Improvisation and Creativity
   • We will teach you how to approach playing without reading and using your ears.

Although the improvisation content isn't strictly within Rock School, it will enrich your learning experience.

Online Resources

There's a huge amount of additional content available online:

• Downloads
• Extensive web content
• Hundreds of instructional videos

It's going to take you a while to get through it all, so I really hope you enjoy every moment!

Interactive Features

We also have an interactive player, allowing you to:

• Slow down or speed up different passages
• Break down sections to understand how they should sound

If you're struggling with a particular part, take advantage of this feature to play along and master it!
