Case Study 2

T had began learning guitar with our tutor and demonstrated an increase in his self-confidence as he progressed. T become so interested in playing guitar Inclusion helped him to purchase an acoustic guitar. T learned to read guitar TAB, could play simple melodies and was also able to tune the guitar using an app on his phone independently. T was very keen to learn more and clearly loved picking up and playing the instrument, as he took it with him everywhere and showed his growing confidence by playing in front of others and his improved resilience as he was unafraid to make mistakes and learn from them.

Based on his own music taste, he begun to learn new songs from the Trinity Rock and Pop grade book for guitar and was soon playing new chords and melodies. T improved rapidly and could play the songs well after a week’s practice on each. He had fun in his music sessions at Inclusion and would stay in the music room for as long as possible and was reluctant to stop at the end of each session. T has been learning at home independently and practicing, which shows how much fun and how important the guitar is to him.

T had the confidence to share a simple melody he had composed. With his music tutor, he recorded this into our music multi track software, added electronic drums and bass using the keyboard. T played all the parts on the keyboard, which broadened his instruments. He continued to add parts to the composition on subsequent sessions and became more confident in his playing each time.
