Coda Tuition

I found the songs very useful in developing my Power chords, something i had struggled with in the past. As well as being very useful for improving playing they are fun and interesting pieces to play. — Paddy Crier, age 17

So far I have found the lessons wonderfully helpful given that I am an absolute beginner and have had nothing to do with music before.  I have been practicing madly. Bottom line – I’ve been enjoying myself so bring it on. — Margaret Sims, age 43

The lessons are really good and interesting.  The songs are challenging but fun to learn and I find that I pick it up quickly. — Matthew Bartlam, age 8

The layout and navigation is good and I like the overall design of the site. The graded lessons concept is fantastic and the access to songs is great for progression. A great resource for guitarists of any level. — C. McEvoy, Course Leader for Music

Playing tracks tailored to my ability has improved my skills, and is fun at the same time. — Colin Morris, age 52

Even now as a busy working musician, being a self taught guitarist, I wish I’d had such a thorough grounding in the basics of technique when I first picked up the instrument, as it would have saved me many hours undoing the bad habits I’d developed. Thoroughly recommended. — P. Sumpter: Composer, Session Player

We’re thrilled with Luke’s progress. It has been fantastic to listen to him develop his skills in such a short space of time. He is not only playing but also beginning to read music. He is learning different styles at a pace which suits him, this has inspired his own taste in music. — K. Hodgkinson, parent of Luke, age 11

I like the schools package which is good for students who want to learn but haven’t got a tutor. Teachers can also use the site in the classroom as an introduction to playing. The lessons are easy to follow, and the links to Rockschool standards show how the site can benefit those already learning an instrument. — J. Love, Course Leader for Music

I like the way that you can learn different genres of music so there’s something for everyone. The songs are catchy and fun. The lessons are very professional and work at a comfortable pace. — Jasmine Parkinson, age 23

The starter songs make you feel like you are playing in a band and although when you first try them it freaks you out trying to keep up, they are thoroughly enjoyable. Also learning with the drum machine is extremely good as it focuses your playing. — Paul Smith, age 55

Thanks for the web site. I have been using it for the past few weeks and I am finding it really good. You have made it very simple for beginners like me. I'm really enjoying the lessons, they are very clear. Once again thank you and keep up the good work :) — Beldev Birdi, age 40

The Coda songs inspired me to push my playing and develop my skill. At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to play the songs, but with the lessons breaking them down into simple sections I soon improved, and before long I was playing along with the backing tracks. — Andrew Wright, age 47

I've been directing students from my workshops to the Coda site so they can brush up on their skills outside of the sessions. Out of all the internet tuition sites I've seen I find the Coda site the most relevant and the easiest to use. — L. Smith, Creative Workshop Leader

The styles of the Coda Music pieces are varied and backing tracks are excellent giving me more incentive to learn them. My basic skills have really improved using these pieces. — Elizabeth Holling, age 11
