Believer Guitar Program^TM

AWDI

I always thought that learning a musical instrument required gifted talent born from the beginning. However, I decided to take a step of faith and signed up for the Guitar Beginner program. Surprisingly, it was very manageable. The Coach teaches very well and he is very patient as well. In a group class setting, you get to learn more as a group compared to a 1 to 1 class. The group environment makes the learning more interesting and effective. In addition, the Christian element to the sessions every time just makes it more meaningful and interesting! Get to learn new things all the time!

I have no musical background and this is my first time playing the guitar. However, I found it very useful and I have also gained more confidence after the first lesson. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

I am touched by my guitar coach who has been patient with me in helping me identify areas of improvement. He is experienced, sharp in observing and very encouraging. He also went above and beyond by coaching me before the lessons start. Truly I am impress with the sincerity of the coaches and would recommend anyone who wish to pursue picking up guitar program to worship the Lord. This is the place! Sincerely, Peggy

I am here to share my story even if it’s long overdue as I have already completed my guitar Advance Worship Dynamics IV (AWDIV) in April this year. I took the Believer Guitar Program for a duration of over a year. Wow! It’s another journey that I persevered and trusted in the Lord to play unto HIM. I’ve learnt many rhythms, chords and songs. I can play the songs that were taught in class. I was given the chance to play in my cell group and it required me to coordinate with people singing in the cell group. I love my all-time favorite coach and his teaching style (you know who you are). Sorry this came so late. Thank God for his confidence in teaching us with his strong and sensitive hearing abilities. He can easily pick up our mistakes to correct us and he is able to guide us while playing and singing. This is so helpful as he ensures that we are not lost with the chords during the song... This is something I really take my hat off to him.. I'm thankful that I can play the guitar and hope to be able to play any songs in the long run. Believer Music really made it possible for me to play the guitar even though I doubted before my first lesson. To all who paused in your learning journey, I encourage you to take the first step of faith and get back at it. After that, persevere and practice every day. At least 15mins if you are busy. Though my fingers are in pain but it is wonderful to be able to worship God while playing the guitar.. Thank you, coach! :p

Many years back, God gave me a dream – I was standing in front of a crowd of 30,000 at the Indoor Stadium praising and worshiping God with the guitar. At that moment, I thought it was quite impossible to achieve because I did not have any musical background. Hence, I did not pursue this dream. A week later, I shared this dream with one of my worship leaders. She mentioned that she had a similar dream which led her to where she is now - leading worship. She encouraged me to take up guitar lessons. I also met up with another sister-in-Christ who offered to pray for me after our conversation. It was during the prayer that my dream flashed across my mind once again. I had a friend who was teaching guitar and I approached him to guide me. However, I realized that I didn't manage to learn much. I felt demoralized and decided to give up. Many years passed and I still very much wanted to learn but perhaps with that bad experience, I dared not continue. This year, one of my worship leaders asked me if I wanted to learn drums. He was willing to teach me, but my heart was still more inclined towards the guitar. Having other commitments that were time consuming, I resulted in giving myself excuses rather than taking up lessons. 3 to 4 years ago was when I first came across Believer Music at Novena Square. As the location was too far from my house, I prayed to God. Early August this year was a turning point for me. As I was on my way to the hospital to pick my mother up, "BELIEVER MUSIC" at Tampines Plaza caught my eye. There is now a branch convenient for me! The moment I saw that I knew that I cannot hide or run anymore and so I tried to register and expressed my interest in a Monday class. However, many months passed and I was unable to be offered a suitable a timeslot. I was very disappointed. Until one day, I decided to take half day leave and walk home from the Tampines bus interchange which would pass by the training centre. It felt as if I was taking a chance to enter Believer Music again and I’m glad I did. At the counter, a staff at the reception was there to assist me and I registered on the spot! So far I have gone through 4 weeks and I love the way Believer Music conducts their lessons. It not only trains me to play as a musician but the lessons bring me deeper in knowing and loving God. My coach is a teacher that points out mistakes to us so that we can improve. He is a very encouraging coach. Although I am still not that good – sometimes I will still play wrongly when changing chords, he is always patient to teach and guide the class. He encourages me to know that I can learn to play the guitar and I can build my confidence once again. Really thank you for helping me to pursue God even more. This is my story and I hope that this will continue to help you uphold the vision and good work. Great is your reward in heaven. Amen!

Throughout the Believer Guitar Program (XP Trial to WDII), I have enjoyed the teaching of the coaches. Although I'm a slow learner when there are new chords, I am really thankful that they are patient to guide me along. At every lesson I learn more about the God that created me and how much He wants to be with me. Every lesson in Believer Music brings a new experience and fresh revelation about how magnificent God is. I would encourage those that are interested in music to come and join Believer Music (through learning the various instruments), and see how God can change you in this awesome journey.

I joined the Believer Music program years ago. Not only has this program given me an additional skill to play simple music, it also provides me another area to appreciate music. Most importantly, it gives me an avenue to worship God not using Youtube or playing CDs but it enables my cell group to worship freely without constraint. Thank you Believer Music!

I want to thank God for bringing me into this music journey with Believer Music. It has been a fruitful learning from Foundation till WD1. The two coaches that I encountered, were full of encouragement and patience. Such a slow learner like me gradually picks up the techniques. I remembered there was once in the lesson, I couldn't get the finger style right, I wanted to give up, telling the coach to go on with the lesson without me. He told me that we shall not leave anyone behind. And he patiently taught me how and put in a way that I understand and I finally did. Thank you. I wouldn't know that at such an age, I can also pick up an instrument to play and worship God. I want to thank God and Believer Music.

Wonderful mentor for the guitar. Individualized learning from each teacher.

I have just completed the Spontaneous Worship Dynamics module and went through the various classes from Beginner till Advanced Worship Dynamics IV over the last 1.5 years. The journey has been awesome! In retrospect, I have no regrets taking up the guitar course after a friend recommended me to do so. For years, I have been wanting to learn the guitar, but wasn't sure where to start. I felt quite apprehensive to begin the classes as I had no prior music background too. I was worried that the course would be difficult to understand. However, after trying out the lessons, it appeared that the course was structured in a progressive manner, and was easy to understand. I was surprised to be able to play a few songs by the end of the first module! Looking back, I am really thankful for the patient coaches for being such great coaches who went through the songs, chords and strumming patterns. Moreover, they have also shared about biblical truths which brought greater meaning when singing and playing through the worship songs. I am also greatly thankful as they have been a great encouragement for students like myself who have no prior music background who chose to embark on this music journey with Believer Music. Also, the frontline counter staffs had a really friendly disposition and was willing to render retail assistance or course enquiries well. They have shown great dedication. Overall, going through this guitar program has been a great encouragement for me to continue this learning journey and I hope this can be an encouragement to those who intend to take up music but feel a bit anxious to take the first step of faith.
