New Berklee Instant Method for Beginners

Press Release

2002-02-20


How many former music students do you know who have instruments gathering dust in their closets? They set out excited to play, with visions of rock-stardom, only to get discouraged trying to muddle through complex music theory.

With Berklee's new Instant Series, beginners start playing from the very first lesson, with no theory needed. The series, which includes Instant Guitar, Instant Bass, Instant Keyboard, and Instant Drum Set, offers instant gratification and the quickest path to playing an instrument. New students will be jammin' right away, no matter what their level of musical knowledge. Chris O'Byrne, Associate Editor of Guitar One magazine, calls the method, "a handy start-up kit for beginners looking to unleash their inner rock stars!"

The accompanying CD features play-along tracks in a variety of styles, including rock, blues, country, and funk. Lessons are based on ear-training with the intent of playing from day one, rather than getting stuck in detailed theory. Whether students are starting their first instrument, or adding a new one to their line-up, this ears-on method is the simplest way to get started.

Marty Friedman, former lead guitarist of Megadeth, says of Instant Guitar: "This book breaks down guitar playing to the absolute simplest form and gives you the gratification of actually playing music from day one. With this totally logical approach, even people who feel they 'don't have the knack' for playing guitar will find themselves playing and actually understanding in a surprisingly short time."

"Simply amazing-one of the best introductory books I have ever seen," says Brad Hallen, bassist for the Susan Tedeschi Band. "You'll start jamming immediately and want to continue practicing to become a great player!"
