Terry Teehans Polka - You will hear the tune first. The tune will be broken into short sections (usually 4 short sections per part) for you to learn slowly. You will be aided by live music notation. At the end of each part you will be able to play through what you have just learned. Towards the end of the lesson you can play the tune with me at a slow pace before you will be given a chance to test yourself by speeding it up to a pace which is close to session ready. You will also hear tips on how to rehearse difficult intervals (the distance between notes) and tone tips.
