If you are serious about learning music and do not have the divine
gifts of a Mozart or a Stevie Wonder then ONE to ONE tuition is
usually the best method. Even the most gifted musicians need much
help in developing the crucial technical skills and appreciating the
importance of the work ethic.
Because we are all unique souls there will probably never be a great
musician that has honed his/her skill from a computer training
course or any other quick and easy method.
Music is lot's of fun but hard work can be become more enjoyable and
certainly more fulfilling than just having fun! The famous concert
musician who doesn't practise scales and exercises daily is probably
yet to be born.
We don't say these things because we want to drum up business and
make money. I have never actually received an enquiry from the
internet. The chances are you live in a another country or at least
out of my local area. The vast majority of good private music
teachers will not be looking for pupils anyhow. But they will often
find room for someone who genuinely wants to learn.
Any good music teacher knows how to devise teaching methods that
suit every INDIVIDUAL and draw out the potential that exists in us
all.
The best music teachers have actually BEEN where there students want
to go. They have actually succeeded as a performer themselves. They
will understand that to really perform requires dedication and
sacrifice.
Genuine love and appreciation for music is probably the closest
thing to spirituality in that it can move, inspire and evoke
powerful emotions to depths we could never reach any other way. That
is why most of the greatest soul singers come from 'gospel'
backgrounds.
If playing music is still the thing you want to do then be prepared
for regular practise sessions. (15-20 minutes 5 or 6 days a week is
far better than 6 hours every Saturday) Concentrate on making small
improvements to area's needing attention rather than just ploughing
through all the material, mistakes and all - and remember, every
time you practise mistakes you are actually telling your brain to
record that faulty sequence of notes.... BE PATIENT - hard work is
always rewarded.

Practise doesn't necessarily make perfect

Perfect practice does!
