What you study will be based on what you want to learn. Piano is my main instrument, therefore most of my students have been pianists. However, roughly 70% of musical skill, theory and ability applies to any instrument. This covers theory, rhythm, harmony, melody, ear training, reading musical notation, improvisation, composition, etc. The remaining 30% applies to the technique of the instrument one plays. Due to this data, I have had great success teaching vocalists and those who played guitar, bass, drums, sax, flute, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello, harmonica, harp, and vibes. The styles of music these students were interested in included Classical, Blues, Ragtime, Dixeland, Swing, Bebop, Rock N Roll, Rock, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Broadway, Pop, Disco, Reggae, Latin Rock, Salsa, and so on.
