Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What should my self, my son or daughter start to learn first to be able play a musical instrument?

• A: You or your kids should get the basics of rhythm and note reading to start playing a musical instrument because rhythm is the basis of all music. Here at the Creative Rhythm School we have just such a course called, "The Simplified Rhythm Course" created to get your rhythm down in one too two lessons so you can get into playing now and having fun!

• Q: Do I have to buy a new instrument to start taking lessons?

• A: No. You can use a friend’s instrument; rent one from a music store in your town for a monthly rate. So if you or your kids stop lessons or stop playing you are not out large amounts of money. Look in your phone book under instruments or music stores and call up one of the music store and ask if they rent or rent to own.
• Q: Do I or my kids need to know how to read music to take lessons?

• A: No. You or your kids can start learning about music with out reading music. But this should be part of the lesson you get from your music instructor while taking lessons.
• Q: How young or old do you have to be to take music lessons?

• A: Here at the Creative Rhythm School we start at age 8 and go up to age 88. I do know of some starting younger and there is a program for them called, Kinder Music for ages 0-8.

Questions That Should Be Frequently Asked

• Q: How do I know if I or my kids are making progress in the music lessons being given?

• A: You should see and hear you or your kids being able to play new ideas, rhythms, written music and out right songs. Now if you or your kids are being shown old rock licks by your instructor like "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple and you or kids can not do new things on the instrument you are being ripped off!!!!

• Q: Is my or my kid’s privet music instructor a Pro musician or a Pro teacher taught to teach music?

• A: He or She should be a Pro Musician. You should get an answer from that music instructor right away because having a pro musician for a music instructor is the right way to go. Because the pros know how to get you the right know-how on your instrument in a fast and right way and that is what you want. Look at it this way do you want a pro pilot to fly you on a jet liner or some person who teaches people to fly from books they have read or do you want someone with real experience in flying a jetliner? You get the idea.
