BMS group lessons help establish a foundation for playing the instrument while introducing students to a range of musical traditions and techniques.

- Proper fretting and picking hand techniques
- Playing in a group environment
- Note reading and note recognition on the fretboard
- Introduction to chords
- Learning songs
- Music appreciation
