i think this is a great idea thou .... my fren's piano teacher does this and they will have a concert twice a year `
but my teacher doest do that

......and if we can't have a concert, we just hold our own gathering

cooool ! i should do that with my frens too

I thought guitar collection does that. Twice a year. Students will perform. Classical stuff though.

in my opinion i think schools should be doing that as its good to prepare students to perform. the school i used to attend(learning violin) used to do that. my friend who owns a music school also does concerts

Yup, experience on stage and playing with a band cannot be bought or sold, its only gained.

I think most music schools provide opportunities to perform. When I was taking lessons from this music shop, they got me to perform some acoustic stuff (Eg. CCR stuff, Tears In Heaven, Hotel California) for a few events. Not exactly concert, but still an opportunity to perform in front of an audience.

i thought ure self taught?

Err... Nope, took lessons for about 2 years when I started learning.

A music school in my area do so before this...it's a charity show.....the audience is students mainly.....the venue is good.....the players play their own learnt song nicely and smoothly.....unfortunately....no electric guitar lesson given by the music school....i thought i can witness to electric guitar show....

but IMO it's a great idea which mentioned by thread starter....increase player's expressions on the stage....

the music school i'm in also does "mini concerts" once in a while...and yamaha will organize a guitar camp once in a year...there's workshops,ensemble,concerts and competition...

maybe u guys can try it out this year...from classical,acoustic to elctric guitar...but mostly acoustic and classical lo...

I don't think I'll fit in ANY music school concert..... what with my BLS gear, Zakk Wylde Les Paul and RR3.......

Yamaha performance hall i think should be able to fit ur gadgets gua....hehe

Gadgets sure..... ego..... I don't think even the Metropolitan Opera hall can fit that.......

ego pulak...
anyways...shud try out the competition in yamaha this year...call out the trio of terror form a band...alot good guitarist there...

I suck at guitar! Have you HEARD me play??!!! It's just the Em Pentatonic over and over and over again!!!! Led_zep and Echo_brain are the real guitar heroes!

blacktrix here "acting pig eat tiger"....
anyways, i think i shud take up electric guitar soon...missing out alot..most of the things u guys talk abt i oso blur blur...

The typical "I suck at guitar!!! (but i'll own your a** when you see me play)" excuse...

mostly music center will do open concert

Ummmmmm.... no. I REALLY REALLY DO suck.... Check out the Gathering v1.0..... the trio of terror was really 2.5 of terror.....
Honestly...... most guitarists here would kick my ass.....
I'm not being modest! I really can't solo for crap!
