Welcome to Wokschool

Hey, how's it going? I'm James, and welcome to Wokschool! You've made a great choice.

Course Overview

This online web content is based on the Rock School syllabus and books, and there's loads of extra info included, particularly on:

• Scales
• Arpeggios
• Sheet music

If you're looking to do the exams, then the book is required, so I'd recommend buying them if you are pursuing that.

Course Sections

This course is divided into several sections:

• Performance of the Pieces
• Walkthrough and Analysis
  - Analysis by each piece
  - Insights from every musician
• Technical Exercises
  - Includes scales, arpeggios, chord voicings, etc.
• Sight Reading
  - Short excerpt on approaches and improvement
• Improvisation and Creativity
  - Although this isn't strictly within Rock School, we'll teach you how to do improvising and how to approach playing without reading, using your ears.

Extra Content

Online, there's a huge amount of additional content:

• Downloads
• Hundreds of Videos
• Interactive Player
  - Allows you to slow down or speed up different passages. This feature helps you to better understand how a certain part or section will sound. If you're struggling, you can break it down and play along.
• Backing Tracks
• Other Downloadable Content

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