Lesson transcript:
Welcome to Discovering Rock Violin
This course consists of 30 different lessons covering a vast amount of information and knowledge that you need to grasp.
Course Structure
- If you don't want to go straight through from beginning to end, that's probably okay.
- However, many of the basics and important lessons are in the first few chapters, so I recommend:
- Learning the first few chapters very thoroughly.
- Even if you choose to skip some of the later ones.
Mastery and Learning
- Don't assume that each lesson will be something you can master within a few hours.
- Remember, there is a lifetime's knowledge in these lessons, and lifelong learning continues even after you've read or watched these videos.
Assignments
At the end of each lesson, I provide you with a series of short assignments that will help you:
- Assimilate the information you've just encountered.
- Integrate this knowledge into your playing and technique.
Important Reminder
Each lesson contains a great deal of information.
- While it may only take a few minutes to watch a lesson, I encourage you to:
- Take the time to master what you are taught.
- Avoid moving on until you've truly learned the material.
So, let's get straight into the first chapter!
