I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU. IT’S BEEN DELIGHTFUL FOR ME IN THE PAST. CALL HOLLY BUSCH FOR EXTRA DETAILS. LET’S ROCK ! PHILOSOPHY OF RON BUSCH & GUIDING PRINICLES OF THE RON BUSCH GUITAR STUDIO SCHOOL OF MODERN MUSIC: HELLO FROM RON BUSCH THE GUITARMAN. I’VE BEEN IN THE MUSIC EDUCATION BUSINESS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. I’VE PERSONALLY TRAINED HUNDREDS OF STUDENT & PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS OVER THE YEARS WITH PROVEN RESULTS. I BELIEVE PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT IS VERY DEVELOPEMENTAL FOR ANYONE OF ANY AGE IF APPROACHED IN THE RIGHT WAY. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT MIMICKING OR COPYING YOUR FAVORITE MUSICAL ‘LICK’ . THAT’S PART OF IT, BUT ONLY A SMALL PART. TO ACTIVATE THE BRAIN & MIND OF THE PLAYER, A LOT OF TOPICS HAVE TO BE BROUGHT TO CONSCIENCNESS. THIS LIST SHOULD INCLUDE: TECHNIQUE & COORDINATION…OPENING UP THE PARTIALLY DORMANT NEUROLOGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HEAD & THE HANDS LEADS TO INCREASED INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS A FACT THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN SCIENTIFICALLY. REMEMBER, WHEN THE PRIMITIVE-MAN CLIMBED OUT OF THE TREES AND BEGAN INVENTING & USING PRIMITIVE TOOLS HIS INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPED AND THE APE-MEN BECAME MODERN-MAN. WELL, EVEN TODAY WITH ALL OUR ADVANCED TOOLS, COMPUTERS INCLUDED, THE AVERAGE MODERN PERSON STILL USES THEIR HANDS AND FINGERS IN A PRIMITIVE FASHION…PUSHING BUTTONS, PULLING LEVERS, HOLDING THINGS, MOVING THINGS, JUST BASIC MOVEMENTS INVOLVED IN AN EVERYDAY LIFESTYLE. NOW ADD A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, ALL OF THE SUDDEN ONE HAS TO USE AND CONTROL THE FINGERS INDIVIDUALLY IN A PRESCRIBED FASHION BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE HELD WITHIN THE MIND’S EYE. WHAT SHOULD BE GOING ON IN THE MIND OF A STUDENT MUSICIAN? WELL, I’LL TELL YOU: MUSIC THEORY FOR ONE. DON’T LET MUSIC THEORY SHAKE YOU. THEORIES HAVE THE REPUTATION BEING ELUSIVE AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND. BUT REALLY THEY’RE NOT IF PRESENTED IN THE RIGHT WAY. HERE’S A SIMPLE DEFINITION FOR YOU…MUSIC THEORY ATTACHES ENGLISH LANGUAGE EQUIVALENTS(WORDS) TO CONCEPTUAL AREAS OF MUSIC ALLOWING THE MUSICIAN TO THINK ABOUT MUSIC IN FAMILIAR WORD FORM AND MAKES POSSIBLE VERBAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BAND MATES. QUITE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF MUSICIANSHIP. OF COURSE, THERE ARE THE FUNDAMENTALS MUSIC. THIS CAN BE A LONG LIST, BUT HERE ARE SOME KEY FUNDAMENTALS: SCALES & IMPROVIZATION, CHORDS & ARPEGGIOS, NOTEREADING & RHYTHM CHART READING, INSTRUMENT DESIGN & STRUCTURE, MODERN MUSICAL GEAR…ELECTRONICS AND USAGE. THESE ARE ALL SUBJECTS THAT A QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR SHOULD TEACH. ALL THIS MAY SOUND A BIT DRY AND NOT NECESSARILY A LOT OF FUN, BUT YOU’RE WRONG TO THINK THAT. IN MUSIC, YOU GET-BACK WHAT YOU PUT-IN. SOUND FAMILIAR ? IT SHOULD, LOTS OF THINGS ARE LIKE THIS. PUT TIME , ENERGY & CONCENTRATION INTO YOUR MUSIC AND YOU’LL GET PAID BACK IN TERMS OF ENJOYMENT AND PERSONAL SATISFACTION. THE BENEFITS OF YOUR MUSICAL EXPERIENCE DO NOT END WHEN YOU PUT YOUR INSTRUMENT DOWN, EITHER. THE CONFIDENCE & MENTAL POWERS YOU DEVELOPE WHILE MUSICAL SPILL-OVER INTO YOUR OTHER ENDEAVORS & MAKE YOU MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THESE OTHER AREAS. THIS IS ALSO A PROVEN SCIENTIFIC FACT. I DIDN’T JUST MAKE THIS STUFF UP. REGARDS, RON
