Philosophy on Teaching - Instruction (Pedagogy)
At Sentinel
Music Studios - we sincerely believe that the approach that is used here
is unique and is based on the following two important principles:
Principle #1:
To instill in the student the
ability for them to think for themselves.
Hopefully this principle is
obvious - but our desire is to have the student be as independent as is
possible - and as soon as it is possible.
Principle #2:
That the student comprehend what it is they are being asked to
do and to demonstrate this through "recitation and example" - that they
are able to explain by the next lesson - each and every thing they are
doing and are about to do.
Lesson Materials
At Sentinel Music Studios all of the instructional materials are
provided for the student during the lessons. These instructional
materials are comprised of specific modules that focus on the gradual
increase in complexity as the required techniques are developed. These
lesson materials are initially available in an instruction manual which
consists of over 460 pages, and which is authored by Sentinel Music
Studios. This lesson manual is entitled, "The Dell Krauchi Guitar
Method". Please see the Store section for
further information.
