There are a variety of music-teacher stereotypes: a) The grumpy old-fashioned by-the-book piano teacher b) The disorganized, flaky guitar teacher c) The intimidating drum drill sergeant … and the list goes on.While I’ve met plenty of these characters, I’ve never found them to be effective teachers. In contrast, the Red Pelican approach integrates music theory into real world examples — customized to the stylistic interests of the student.A quick example:Say the task is to learn chords in the key of “G.” This could be accomplished in several ways. 1) a traditional exercise.
