Brazilian
and Rock
music during

ages.

levels.
FOR
ADULTS
June
21-July
22,
2010.
Miami,
Florida
Feed
your
brain
and
soul
by
learning
to
play
guitar
and your
favorite
music
style
this
summer.
Starting
June
21, 2010
I
will
be
offering individual
and
group
guitar
lessons
for all
ages. Group
sessions will
be
limited
to a
maximum
of
6 adult
students per
group
allowing quality individual
coaching
to
every
one
in
the
class. Group
classes for 2,
3 or
4 students
can
also
be
arranged. I am
keeping
the
cost of
the
classes low
and
the
groups small.
These
classes
are
an
introductory
course
for
the
absolute
beginner.
What
will
you
be
learning?
the
basics
of
guitar
playing.
Emphasis
will
be
placed
on
learning
to
play
guitar
using
the
fingers
of
the
right
hand
as
opposed
to
using
only
a
pick.
Although
this
is a
beginner's
course
the
student
will
learn
right
away
how
to
play
well
known
melodies,
learn
the
basic
chords
and
be
able
to
create
easy
strumming
patterns.
Here
is a
quick
break
down
of
what
the
beginner's
course
will
cover:
-A brief
introduction
to
reading
tablature
and
music
notation
on the
--guitar
-Learning
to place
fingers
on the
first
quadrant
(first 4
frets)
and
develop
a
good
sound
and
articulation.
-Work at
coordinating
left and
right
hand
finger
movements
-simultaneously
to help
you
create a
variety
of
interesting
bass and
melodic
lines
combinations.
-Speed
up the
learning
process
by using
a
combination
of
tablature
and
music
notation
on
different
types of
music.
-Learn
to strum
basic
rhythmic
accompaniments
in the
Keys of
C major,
G major
and D
major
-Learn
simple
musical
compositions
from the
Classical,
Flamenco,
Brazilian
and Rock
literature.
Learning
to play
the
guitar
is fun,
but
learning
to play
it well
requires
a good
deal of
discipline
from the
student.
In order
to
develop
the
control
that is
required
on both
hands to
create a
good
sound
and a
smooth
musical
feel,
practicing
habits
have to
be in
place.
It is up
to the
student
to
follow
through.
I have
put
together
for
these
sessions,
aside
from the
technical
exercises,
some
easy
arrangements
of
different
styles
of music
that
will
allow
the
student
to learn
and
work on
the
different
musical
and
technical
aspects
of each
style.
For
example:
"rasgueado"
techniques
in
Flamenco,
"bending"
of the
strings
in Rock
or to
learn
the
syncopated
rhythm
of the
Brazilian
Samba
and Boss
nova.
If you
are
particularly
interested
in
learning
and
concentrating
in one
specific
style of
music,
call me
at
786-242-6524 or send
me an
e-mail
at:
franciscoburgos@burgosguitar.com.
I
will be
happy to
provide
you with
the
information
about
individual
lessons
in the
style of
music
you
are interested
in. The
group
classes
at this
point
are only
for
beginners. If
you play
guitar
already
and
would
like to
take individual
lessons
to
improve
your
technique, don't
hesitate
to
contact
me. I
teach
beginners
as well
as
advance
students.
If you
are
planning
to go to
college
I can
help you
prepare
for your
audition
exams.
If music
is
something
you have
been
planning
to get
into
just for
the fun
of it I
can also
help you
with
that
too.
If the
times
and
dates I
am
offering
the
lessons
are not
convenient
to you,
I will
be happy
to put
together
additional group
sessions
if there
are
enough
students
to form
a group.
You can
send me
an
e-mail
requesting the
schedule
you are
looking
for or
call
me. I teach
7 days a
week and
classes
can be
scheduled
in the
mornings,
afternoons
or
evenings.
For your
convenience
I have
two
locations
in
Kendall or
if you
prefer I
can do
private
lessons at
your
home.
Group
lessons
will
only
take
place at
my

It is an
understatement
to say
how
important
it is
for the
children (and
adults) to
learn to
play
a musical
instrument.
The
rewards
and
benefits a
child
(or an
adult)
can
receive by learning
to play
a
musical
instrument
have
been
covered in
countless publications
and the
media.
Music
exercises
all your
brain
functions:
visual,
pattern
recognition,
fine
motor
skills,
abstract
thinking,
spatial
orientation,
imagination,
numerical
and
mathematical
concepts,
language,
memory,
problem-solving
ability,
while
reducing
psychological
stress
and
increasing
health. If
you type
in:
"music
improves
brain"
using
your
favorite
search
engine
online
you will
find
about a
half-million
results
that
point to
proof of
music's
inherent
ability
to
improve
high
brain
functions,
coordinate
multiple
skill-sets,
rewire
the
cerebral
cortex
to
improve
left-right
hemisphere
communication.
Music
also
increases
social
confidence
and
public
speaking
ability...
the list
goes on
and on.Learning
music is
good for
everyone.
It is
non-violent,
promotes
peaceful
artistic
cooperation,
concentration
and it
is fun!
Here is
an
article
with
related
links about
music
and the
brain that
I am
sure you
will
find
informative
and
interesting:
