STRINGS · ABRSM & TRINITY
Acoustic
Guitar.
Turn chords, rhythm and melody into complete songs. Students build a reliable foundation and may work toward an ABRSM or Trinity pathway.
ABRSM + TRINITYWHAT STUDENTS LEARN
Skills that become music.
Lessons combine technique, listening, reading and repertoire. Teachers adjust the balance to suit the student’s age, experience and musical goals.
Chords and rhythm
Essential chord shapes, transitions, strumming and steady time.
Melody and reading
Single-note playing, notation or tab, phrasing and ear training.
Songs and performance
Build a varied set, play with others and develop stage confidence.
A TYPICAL FIRST YEAR
One year, four clear stages.
This is a practical guide, not a fixed promise. Starting level, attendance, practice and individual readiness shape the exact pace.
Start strong
Instrument care, open strings, first chords, pulse and short melodies.
Build fluency
Smooth chord changes, strumming patterns, reading and complete songs.
Make it musical
Scales, fingerstyle, expressive detail and ensemble awareness.
Share and progress
Polish a balanced set and review readiness for a suitable exam pathway.
EXAM PATHWAY
Progress with purpose.
We use current official syllabus information to guide exam preparation. The teacher recommends a board, grade and timeline after understanding the student’s level, goals and learning pace.
ABRSM pathway
Lessons can include the repertoire, technical work and supporting musicianship appropriate to the student’s chosen assessment.
