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:
- Performance of the Pieces
- Walkthrough and Analysis
- Each piece will be analyzed by various musicians.
- Technical Exercises
- Including scales, arpeggios, chord voicings, etc.
- Sight Reading
- A short excerpt about the best approaches to improve this skill.
- Improvisation and Creativity

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