I'm a passionate music teacher with over 30 years of experience, trained as a session musician with various qualifications in education and performance. In my studio, I teach a range of instruments, including drums, guitar, piano, bass, banjo, and ukulele. This channel started as a resource for my students to access worksheets and lesson content, but it's growing into much more.
I will be providing a variety of content, including graded material, study pieces, exercises, backing tracks, and tips and tricks I've learned over the years. I cover a range of genres and styles, catering to both beginners and more advanced musicians. I’m always learning too, and I share useful resources that have helped me.

Hi, Its an exercise with the E minor scale up and down which is the basis of "Spanish romance" but there is much more to the tune. I have a student working her way up to that so we have a few exercises to help her get the basic scale and finger pattern down first. Spanish Romance is a good tune to work towards but you also need the A min and B7 bar shapes plus the second half of the tune goes to E major. But yes its meant to be in that style which many early classical/Spanish studies use. well spotted.
Yes I like using guitar pro 7/8 as I transcribe and edit sheets for my students. I have just started to think about uploading the sheets for access and play along so if useful I will upload more.
Thanks for the comment and I will do as these videos are to help my students as well as others that might find it useful. I will add some more studys and exercises I use in my lessons for you very soon.
@beeshoney8085 learn to read music bro if u need help I can help u💀 Cuz you can't learn music without learning its language and it's virtually impossible to do it on classical
Hi Mark, thank you for the video. You went through all the chords along the top line of each section but what about the chords underneath each one? Brenda
Yes top line is the key of C version so the same method would be applied for each row just in different keys. I know you like G so try that line but if you would like me to do a follow up video to expand please let me know and will do when I get Chance.
This was a long time ago, but remains pretty darned cool Mark! Well done mate. I mess a bit with uke too, so will definitely be checking out more of your content. Regards mate, Dave
Fair enough. So sharps and flats are the black notes on the piano in between the white notes. Originally there was less notes in the musical system a very long time ago and these nodes were added in at a later time. The sharps/flats are notes in between the main notes A B C D E F G . We call these sharps when we ascend or flats when we descend. But they are basically the same note. So if you start on your A string on the ukulele and go to the first fret it's an A Sharp or B Flat. what you call it depends on the direction you are going in or if a particular key or scale has been written one way or the other. I know it seems difficult to start with so work with the chromatic scale going up with sharps and back down with flats to start with. If you need a video explainer I will add to my list haha. Lovely to hear from you though and it's good to know someone is watching my videos haha.
