Don't be intimidated by sheet music and music theory- they hold the keys that will unlock a world of freedom in your playing!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What style of music are you most interested in? How did this style evolve from classical music, and what tools could you add to your "musical tool box" by studying classical and jazz music?
(For example, many hip hop producers use samples of old jazz songs as the foundation to their beats)
