All Styles: Jazz, Classics, Blues, Pop, Rock, R&B
We think it's important that you play the style of music that you like,
and we often ask you to bring in recordings of your favorite

challenging way.
In addition to the basic categories of musical styles above,
we also teach Soul, Dance, Hip-hop, Gospel, Latin, Folk, Broadway, World, New
Age - any style that you are interested in learning.
