SONG BREAKDOWN SECTION: What musicians need more often than anything is an easy to follow breakdown of songs, runs, chord passages, etc. Too often good musicians do not have the time or patience to demonstrate what they do to aspiring musicians. I have been there, and I remember it well. So I always try to put myself in the shoes of the learner as I teach. Our breakdowns are better because:

- The demos are slow and EACH CHORD IS EXPLAINED. Keys are marked when something is shown for the first time.

- Songs are divided into sections to fit all skill levels. Easy songs are given slowly with a lot of details for the beginner. We also have sections with harder songs for the experienced musician. These demos move a little faster with less detail. Find the level that fits you best. The five levels are as follows:

Beginner Level: These songs can be played by a complete beginner. These songs are demonstrated VERY slowly with all keys marked.

Easy Level: Learn the "KMS NUMBER SYSTEM" and we can move a lot faster. We highly recommend it. This system will make a whole new world of songs available to you. Knowledge of the Major chords is also helpful.

Intermediate Level: Learn the "KMS CIRCLE OF 4THS" and you will instantly go to a whole new plateau. Most of the beautiful contemporary songs that you hear will be available to you. A knowledge of 9th chords is also helpful.

Advanced Level:  If you can play in most keys, you are ready for the advanced level. You will learn multiple options for your chords, progressions, and runs.

Professional Level: Here you will Learn; two-handed chords; bridges and modulations; and modes to take your runs and solos to the highest levels.

REMEMBER: Music is like math. If you have problems on any level, it is because you are weak on a prior level. Shore up your weaknesses, and the next level comes easier
