Students Performing after the Level 4

The following two videos highlight the artistic skills of our students after completing Level #4 and their confidence in front of a live audience. As part of our progression from Level #4 to Level #7, we have introduced the “Performance Launch & Certification Program.” This optional module is designed to bridge the gap between practice and live performance by providing a real-world stage for students to showcase their skills. Ideal for guitarists aiming to build an artistic portfolio, gain recognition, or explore monetization opportunities, the program is available to those who have advanced beyond Level #4 and includes a live performance featuring nine consecutive songs, lasting up to one hour.
