Definition of proficiency level for musicians in relation to workshops.
Different ability levels are taught at different times and at different locations. You may be asked to assess your proficency level when applying to join our workshops, so we can ensure the course work is properly matched to expectations. In order to help you do this, we have summarised our definitions as follows:
Beginner:- Someone who has just starting to learn and would probably know little or nothing about the instrument and have little or no music theory knowledge.
Novice:- Would be able to play a few tunes, understand the tuning of the instrument and know a little about music theory, chords, keys etc.
Intermediate:- Would be comfortable playing in sessions, know 20 or more tunes, know about different tunings and keys. They would probably have a basic understanding of basic music theory.
Advanced:- Would have a large repertoire of tunes, be comfortable playing in all the main keys and be capable of at least a little bit of improvisation. May be at band level and have knowledge of music theory.
