Hey guys, we are back with Live Lesson EP022! This month’s topic is: The 3 E’s of Learning Ukulele.
In this month’s session, you’ll learn 3 steps that will streamline your ability to progress as a musician.
The 3 steps, known as “The 3 E’s”, are: Education (learning new things), Experience (practicing those new things), and Exposure (getting feedback from someone on those things).
This month’s topic should stir up some great questions! So please post all you have below and I hope you guys join us for the live stream. 🙂

Talking about the 3Es, within the context of rockclass101…I am wondering at what point should I have a few private lessons? How do I know? What will private lesions do for me?
Thanks,
Grace, you can work on anything you want to in a private lesson. And if you’re not sure what to work on, we can help figure that out with you. Stephen teaches our private lessons 🙂
Hi Grace,
To follow up on what Andrew said, it all depends on the person. I’m a very self-directed learner and I like to learn at my own pace, so regular private lessons really wouldn’t work for me. On the other hand, I’ve had a lesson with Stephen when I got stuck on something, and it was really helpful. Some people find that regular lessons help keep them on track, though. Some people never have private lessons at all, and they do just fine. It all depends on you. If you want to try private lessons, why not give them a go? See if they work for you.
Hi Grace @gmfli8
I have been doing weekly private lessons since May last year, and they have been a huge help to me.
I go to a music teacher whose main instrument is double bass (bassists can pick!), and also plays and/or teaches ukulele, guitar, piano. She is gentle, encouraging and very knowledgable.
What I do with her, enhances my RC101 learning because I learn better with a teacher in front of me.
In general, I get to choose what I want to learn and it is usually one of Andrew’s arrangements or something else from RC101. I do also follow the RC101 lesson, I just find the combination works best for me.
Look for a music teacher who TEACHES ADULTS. We learn very differently from children, and that needs to be taken into account. Also, look for someone who is happy to teach you what YOU want to learn, and doesn’t follow a strict pathway. As an adult you need to be learning to play music that gives you joy, because that way it won’t burn you out or bore you, and you will continue to love to learn.
Andrew does ALL that, and a complimentary teacher just makes it all better.
