Welcome to the Student Area!  Here you'll find masses of useful information and some links to other sites which we hope will be of interest to you too!
Hit the 'Music Theory' tab above to find a comprehensive music dictionary; 'Rhythm Tutor' for an excellent Rhythm tutorial by Sean Hooper, a Percussion teacher with the Music Service (who better to teach us all about rhythm!)
The 'Downloads' tab will take you to lots of useful media downloads which should help you with learning boring but essential stuff like scales and arpeggios.  For Jazz Improvisation files hit the 'Jazz' tab.
'Music jokes' will supply you with enough one-liners and quips to keep your mates thoroughly hacked off with your encyclopaedic banter for a very long time!  Let me know if you have a joke not included, and I'll add it to the list!
'Programmes of Study' will enable you to check up on the teachers' talk for your instrument, and get an idea of what (and how) you'll be learning next.
The 'Links' button will give you a list of useful sites with a huge amount of interesting and vital information about your instrument, external examinations, manufacturers, and a whole lot more.

If there is anything you would like to see on these pages, give us a shout! - after all, this area of the site is for you.  Email the webmaster with suggestions and comments - we look forward to hearing from you!

If you are into internet radio stations (or even of you aren't!), you really should head for www.pandora.com - it's a station with a difference - you create it to your tastes simply by telling it what type of music you want it to play.  You can change your preferences as you go, and create up to 100 radio stations all for your own personal listening pleasure!.  Only catch is you really should be a US citizen, but I'm sure you could concoct a 5-digit ZIP code to register :-)
