P.B.E.S™ - Learn the songs you prefer

We listen to what we enjoy, so the learning process of playing what we like becomes an enjoyable experience. It may seem like common sense that one would be more motivated when learning what one likes, but P.B.E.S™  took this seriously.– Founder of PBE

Today’s contemporary music consists of a wide range of music genres such as Pop, Rock, Metal, Jazz, Rap, Hip-hop, Electronica and countless subgenres. Whether it is Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, the Beatles, Jay Chou or Yiruma, learning music should never be daunting or tedious. The learning process should be nothing less than entertaining and engaging, whether it is oriented towards leisure or academic studies. It should be a natural process, accessible, pleasing and accelerated, especially for busy adults in today’s fast-paced and stressful society. Having fun is ideally the top priority and in order to do so, you need to play the songs that you like.

Quite importantly, P.B.E.S™ ensures that all the relevant and necessary details of study are taught and that the understanding of important music rudiments and proper musical techniques are not compromised whilst having fun. We deem it our responsibility to ensure that you are learning the right things and at the same time, you benefit greatly by having fun doing what you love.
