Accelerated Guitar Mastery (Batch 2)
Graduation Concert 25th April 2010
=======================
I say it was more of a BREAKTHROUGH Concert than a Graduation Concert cause it's just the beginning of their guitaring journey!
We had many total beginners in this batch. And believe it or not, they performed on stage in just 4 weeks from the start of Day 1....
All have achieved 'un-imaginable' breakthroughs.
From a total beginner, to be able to play their chosen songs on stage is definitely not an easy feat. And mind you, they were not easy songs to begin with!
When our instructors heard what they hope to play... Jaws Dropped!
Songs like "More than words, You raise me up, I'm Yours...."
Hey, those are songs beginners should not even try to attempt... not to mention they have to perform them in such a short span!
But...
It's so heartening to see all of them achieving the impossible. Though some are not entirely perfect, it is un-doubtingly an amazing achievement not many are willing to commit.
To play guitar in just 1 month and learn all the strategies and knowledge to become a self-directed learner.
We acknowledged that they themselves put in much hard work and effort to be where they are now!
That's the spirit of this programme!
Keep your passion going, friends!
We say, this is just the beginning of your fulfilling guitar journey.
*Claps, Claps*
Flashback Video before the start of the concert.
Video captured their journey through the 3-day course.
The inspiring moments.

And of course, the fun moments!
Graduates have to bring family and friends to witness their transformation.
Master Trainers, Amos & Jensen, opening the concert. Welcoming everyone!
All ready to go on stage and show everyone their best after 1 month's sweat!
Oh yeah, before the graduates.
Guitar coach - David brought us his inspiring rendition of 'Ain't no sunshine.'
Guitars Line-up. Cool!
Guitar Coaches - David and Shawn, giving another performance.
Reuben, one of the graduates. Sharing his thoughts about the 3-day Accelerated Programme.
Paul, one of our proudest students said "Thumbs up!"
Kiang Liang - Performing "Falling Slowly".
Wow wow wow.
Reuben - giving a sincere and emotional delivery.We were touched.
He mentioned it was depicting his life journey.
Our trainers livened up the atmosphere after his performance 'cause it was a little too....
~Heartfelt~
Entertaining moments for all!
Paul - He looked so confident with his 'weapon'.
Giving all his might to sing an 'utterly' challenging song - I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)
(..and yes, he is a total beginner to start with! And to handle with all the barred chords... We salute you, Paul!)
Master Trainer, Jensen (Personal Empowerment)
All smiles, seeing all the graduates achieving personal breakthroughs.
Keljin - Performed 记得. David on vocals and Amos on piano.
Evelyn - performing 'More than Words.' She performed the full version.
I bet her fingers must have gained 'total numbness'. Hahaa...
She is also a total beginner to start with.
"We were impressed!"
Elkan - performing "You Raise Me Up."
He was an experienced player who only knows how to strum.
Without any plucking background, he played the song with chord/melody for the intro section. Was definitely a incredible feat for him.
Finale Performance by our Master Trainer, Amos Teo!
Loud cheers!!!
Time to GRADUATE!!!
OH YEAHHHHH!!!!!

OUR MUSIC LEARNER'S TESTIMONIALS!
" I was really excited when after months of procrastination, I finally signed up with Hark Music. And I am glad I did. Not only are the staff friendly, my vocal coach is also thorough and patient in her classes.I can go on and on but the bottom line goes:Here is what Quality is really about. I'm happy to be part of Hark Music and will never hesitate to bring my friends down!Thank you Hark music!!!!!! "
Liting, Vocal Student
" Hark Music has really helped to broaden my music knowledge. I have taken almost every course available (Vocal, Keyboard and Guitar) and I can say that they have a very systematic way of teaching. The syllabus is very well-planned too! At the end of the course, one can definitely self-teach to further understand music. Afterall, learning is a life-long process! "
Joel Ong, Vocal, Pop Piano & Guitar Student
" I have been a part of Hark Music for the past four years. I must say that it has changed a lot in these four years. I remembered the first time I went to Hark Music they only occupied the second floor. There wasn't even a first floor! And performances are held on the second floor, so everytime students came for lesson when there are performances, they feel very paiseh for interrupting the performances. But that was in the past.Hark Music has grown a lot since then...expanded to two storeys...introduced a cafe...then took away the café and *tadah* transformed it to the performing studio you see now. Well, Hark Music has come a long way since it first started. They have a blog now, more opportunities for students to display and cultivate their musical talents, more rooms for more classes etc. Hark Music is a good learning ground especially for beginners with no musical background. I hope it will continue to expand and reach out to all music lovers."
