I also work hard to ensure that every arrangement, regardless of its complexity, will sound great. In the end, it’s your ears that should be the judge.
So resist the urge to make your playing more complex just for the sake of it, or to try to tackle more challenging arrangements because you feel you must as a sign of progress. Some of the greatest players of all time used a very sparse style, which allowed freed them up to infuse their music with heart, soul, and great rhythm. Remember this: a good melody played simply with good timing and technique will always sound far better than the most technically sophisticated arrangement played sloppily. Having a lot of options or knowing a lot of techniques can be both a blessing and a curse, as it can be tempting to try to make things sound better just by making it fancier or more technically complex. )īut before I give you the description for each level, I’d like to insert a word of caution:ĭon’t fall into the trap of thinking that an arrangement that’s more complicated, or a higher level, is necessarily “better”.

( RELATED : The Brainjo Method is the first system of musical instruction that incorporates the science of learning and neuroplasticity, and specifically targets adult learners. You’ll see this denoted at the top right hand side of the tab with “Brainjo Level x” on it. To help you in always choosing music that’s right for you now, I’ve created a level system that accompanies all of the arrangements that are released by Brainjo. You may start out to learn a tune and ultimately find that it’s too far outside your comfort zone, or that it utilizes techniques or notation you’re not familiar with or haven’t seen before. But both would still like to make really good music! And there’s no reason they shouldn’t.īut finding music that’s right for you, that you can make sound good with the skills you already possess, isn’t always easy. Someone who’s been playing for 3 months won’t have the same body of technical skills to draw from as someone who’s been playing 3 years. Learning music is a cumulative process that occurs over an extended period of time. One of the challenges that comes with learning a musical instrument or style, particularly one that doesn’t already have a highly formalized built in pedagogical structure (like classical violin, for example), is in finding tunes and arrangements to play that are appropriate for you current level of technical ability.
