Guitar/Ukulele/School Band

Hey All,

The school band has been rehearsing weekly for the last few weeks and is almost ready to unleash the next incredible aural onslaught at an assembly soon.

Guitar and Ukulele lessons have also been underway. If your child is new to the instrument they are probably learning Blues Riff and Paint It Black (both picking songs). If you want them to get the most out of the instrument I suggest reading my guide to learning a song under the Rock 'n' Roll Collective tab. The advanced guys have been working on Wipeout and this week I'm going to work on some advanced pick technique with the song Thunderstruck with them.

Rock On,

Mr M

Week 5 is kickoff week for guitar / ukulele / school band

Hi all,

Thanks for all the sign up responses. If you're new to lessons I'll let you know this week if you're on the wait list or if there is a space for you to start in week 5. I was initially going to start lessons in week 4, but unfortunately will be at the Aquatic centre during lunch on Tuesday and Thursday due to swimming sports.

In the mean time, check out the videos on the blog and download the lead sheets to get back into practice. 

Rock on,

Mr M

Band / Guitar / Ukulele

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the school year. I'm aiming to start school band and guitar/ukulele lessons again for this year in week four. School band will run Tuesdays at lunchtime and guitar/ukulele lessons will be Thursday lunchtime. Please email me or send your child to see me in Room 6 if they want to be involved in lessons this year. I'm looking forward to another exciting year of music here at Paroa School.  

Rock On,

Mr M

Hi Guys, welcome to 2016! I'm looking forward to another awesome year of music at Paroa School. Last year was a cracker and I've got some big plans for this year. Keep checking back as I update lessons and add new videos. I'm aiming to get guitar and ukulele lessons up and running sometime in the first few weeks. School band and choir will be up and running after that.

Rock on,

Mr M
