The Conscious Competence Learning Model

By Marie Page | November 18, 2008

As music teachers we find it helpful to be aware of the learning model that defines students as at one of four stages:
Stage 1 unconscious incompetence
Stage 2 conscious incompetence
Stage 3 conscious competence
Stage 4 unconscious competence
The model explains the process and stages of learning a new skill

Beginners or Intermediate DVDs?

By Marie Page | November 9, 2008

Here’s a question from Dale in the US which I’ve posted as it comes up all the time.

“I am a self-taught guitar player for the last ten years. i don’t know anything about music theory or some of the more technical terms i hear about and read on your guitar courses. I have led worship at churches i have attended, but find myself lacking in some areas. i have seen your guitar courses on worshiptogether.com, but am really unsure whether i should purchase the beginner or intermediate course. i don’t want to go to something so basic that it was a waste of my money, but don’t want to miss out on things i need to know by jumping to the intermediate course. how basic or beginner is your beginner course? i know most of my major chords, can transpose with a capo, and know a couple of strum patterns, but have an issue with tempo and lack in moving up the neck and fingerpicking. any advice on what i should purchase?”

Music Stand Rant

By Marie Page | November 6, 2008

OK. I know that we don’t all play by ear and even if we do we like to have the security of the words in front of us when we lead worship (and not all churches have that great system where words are shown on floor based monitors). But why do so many people insist on having their music stands set so high?

Newsletter - November 2008

By admin | November 4, 2008

Musicademy is pleased to announce the launch of our new Worship Music site. Rather than do a lengthy e-newsletter this month we thought we’d just invite you to browse the new site, especially the blog which is crammed full of the kind of articles we normally put in the newsletter.

FAQ - Song Learner Downloads vs the DVDs

By Marie Page | November 3, 2008

“Hi, i’m a bassist that plays in a church band and I wanted to know what’s the difference from getting the song learner seperately as a single download and getting the discs. I’d like to keep the songs (video) on my computer…Do you all show different fills, riffs, and slides into chords, etc. on your videos?”
David Wooliston

Thanks for the question David. In a nutshell:
- The online Song Learner videos are the same in terms of content with the DVDs
- The online videos will only play on a computer, the dvds on computer or DVD player
- The DVD quality is much higher than online video
- You can take the content from the DVDs onto your computer if you like

If you are wanting most of the Song Learner lessons I would recommend the DVDs. If you just want to try one or two lessons then go the online route.

I would also say that the main Musicademy Beginners/Intermediate Worship Bass Course DVDs are our “core” product. These have onscreen graphics, input from lots of worship leaders and pro players, and are a thorough step by step teaching programme. They are far far more than the Song Learners so do have a think about the Intermediate bass course for you as well.

(This answer applies equally to the guitar song learners)
