Our teachers keep answering the same practical questions in lessons — how do I tune this, how should I hold these, what do those numbers on the page mean. So we wrote the answers down. The guides below are free to read, take a few minutes each, and need no sign-up.
They live on our practice blog, Trill Route Music School guides, where a new one goes up every Tuesday.
Guides by instrument
Guitar and ukulele — tuning, your first four chords in the order that makes them easiest, and how to read tab.
Drums — grip, rebound, and the three rudiments worth learning first.
Keyboard and piano — hand shape, finger numbers, bench height, and reading treble and bass clef.
Singing — a five-minute warm-up, and how breath support actually works.
Recording and production — what a home setup genuinely needs, and how to avoid clipping.
Practice habits — a 20-minute routine, using a metronome, and how to stop practising the same mistake.
Not sure where to begin
Start with Start here, which covers the two habits that help on any instrument before pointing you at whichever one you play.
Reading is no substitute for someone watching you play, of course. If you want that, a trial class is the quickest way to find out what you actually need to work on.
