Courses

Ever noticed how the animating verb for music is play, and yet many of us get so bogged down with the intellectual and mechanical aspects of music (which are also essential) that somehow we lose our ability to accommodate these seemingly opposite values? At Miago Academy, we aim to merge the fun and the study; the Play and the Practice.

Everyone sells information, but there is no structure to nurture merit, accountability and growth within a thriving guitar community. Miago is not another digital course you bought on sale and didn’t complete. It is a platform to support, encourage and inspire your music journey on the guitar through its myriad facets: mechanically, intellectually and psychologically. Many of us may have some solid ideas about how to improve specific skills on the guitar but the ‘what‘ alone will not suffice. We need the ‘how’.

Subscription Programmes

First and foremost, we are all students first (mentally, that is) that have worked in music professionally for decades. We truly care about your progress from week to week. If you are willing to show up for yourself, your musical goals are going to be fulfilled, and as a result you will unravel a great inner strength that was there, latent perhaps, all along. We don’t promise any “7 or 10 day mastery” of anything. That is a joke and if you’re still reading you know that. We’re in this for the long haul. We thrive on helping facilitate musical transformations among the dedicated players.

Our staff has a vast knowledge of music and it’s lineage (the chronological tree of influences). Moreover, we will have surprise guest teachers regularly to shake things up (some of them you will know) .We’re actually getting into the nitty gritty of practice routines, ear training, transcriptions, music history to build a full repertoire for the gigging musician. We encourage a general spirit of musical enquiry on anything that you’re curious about.
