The guitar school curriculum works on a number of inter-related levels. Those levels are Theory, Practice and Performance – or if you prefer Mind, Body and Soul! There is an equal emphasis placed on the importance of each of these and to neglect any of them would create an imbalanced approach. Students who attend our guitar courses come to us with imbalances already – some have great technique but perhaps a poor aural ability, while others come to us with an impressive knowledge of musical theory but with debilitating stage nerves. When a student graduates from ACM they will have had hundreds of real life experiences from which they can draw on in their careers. In the modern world a well-rounded musician is one who has the right tools, practice, experience and attitude to adapt to a wide variety of musical situations. I am confident that the tutors and curriculum in the guitar school come together to help students achieve this.

The environment at ACM is also highly conducive to great teaching. The facilities and the staff are by far the best I have come across. It’s difficult not to teach well at ACM! Students will naturally shop around – it’s a big investment of time, energy and money on their behalf also. However it is clear to me that ACM has the best tutors, curriculum and facilities for students interested in a career in the modern music business.

ACM runs a number of extra curricular events and activities for students on full time guitar courses (these extra curricular events also apply to vocals, bass, drums, keyboard, music production and music business courses too). These may include:

• Blues Workshop - playing rhythm and lead ideas over common blues progressions.

• Metal Workshop - chance to come and rock out to an eclectic selection of metal tunes.



• Live Performance Workshops – a further opportunity to develop band skill techniques in a live performance environment.

• Perform with Confidence (for Diploma students) – a workshop concentrating on confidence building and anxiety management in performance.
