An outline of the recommended first project of the informal learning model, where students are dropped 'in at the deep end' with informal learning processes.
In this initial project students are ‘dropped into the deep end’ with informal learning, emulating as closely as possible the real-life learning practices of young, beginner popular musicians. The guidance below outlines in detail the first lesson, and then makes suggestions for how to implement the project overall. We do not suggest targets and objectives for every lesson, rather the generic aim of listening to a song and copying it is an ongoing objective for students that stretches over a number of lessons. Students within this set their own goals and objectives.
