Our series of courses are meant to help you start learning a new skill like guitar, piano, ballroom dance, drums, painting or photography.  Although the courses are designed to take you from beginner to mastery level, there is just way too much information on each of the topics to fit into the course.  We have lots of different ways to get that additional information, but I wanted to highlight our blogs.

Originally, and not too long ago, this was the only blog we had.  Recently, however, we've had an explosion (well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration) of blogs.  First we upgraded our Student Support Forum and with the upgrade, our forum members can now start a full, dedicated blog within the forum itself.  Next came our Guitar Blog.  The Guitar Blog was a necessary step as we have so much knowledge of guitar and need to find ways to share it.  Then, Gayle Levee, the instructor for the painting course, started a blog on our student support forums.  Last - at least for now - we're planning a photography blog that will launch in the Spring, closer to the release of our photography course.

You can visit our Blogs Page for a portal to all of our blogs. I'll also list them below for you.  We're excited to fill these blogs with lots of great information to help you advance to the next level of whatever skill you are working on!

Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar Blog

This is your source to all things guitar related.  From beginner tips to advanced tricks and everything in between.  You'll also get contests and a few sale announcements...but mainly we'll provide hard-hitting guitar articles.

Student Blogs on the forum

Start your own and join our students in blogging your way through the courses.  Share your successes and struggles and interact with other students.  It's a great way to record your progress.

We launched our latest instructional dvd course last month, Learn & Master Painting.

So far, the response has been great! The comments and testimonials have started coming in!
Today I got an email that pointed me to a thread on the Learn and Master Painting Forum in which the first students shared their first works of art!

Already, as our CEO Gabe said today, “New dreams [are] rapidly coming with reach!” Here are two of the pieces of artwork shared with us today:





We also received this wonderful message from one of our recent Learn & Master Painting customers via snail mail. It is truly awesome the way we are impacting the loves of people who purchase our products!

Legacy Learning Systems Learn & Master Series, an award-winning series of comprehensive courses in guitar, piano, drum and ballroom dance instruction, has the music industry buzzing. “I can think of no better comprehensive, instructive tool for budding songwriters than Legacy Learning Systems Learn & Master series,” says ASCAP Assistant VP Herky Williams. “The program is also great for professional musicians striving to be their best and improve their game."

Legacy Learning Systems produces truly comprehensive multimedia training courses, bringing personal dreams within reach for its consumers. Legacy’s programs have received several honors including a Telly Award for Excellence in Education, Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s Player’s Choice Award, an AEGIS Award and a Pegasus Award in the Education category. Founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Gabriel Smith, Legacy Learning Systems currently offers educational courses on guitar, drum, piano and ballroom dance with photography and painting to be unveiled later this year.

“We started getting a lot of inquiries from songwriters that were looking to excel their abilities,” says Gabriel Smith, CEO and founder of Legacy Learning Systems. “We are excited at the recent acknowledgement from recording industry organizations and successful leaders in the songwriting and grassroots music fields. We hope to become the go-to series for songwriters and artists across all genres that are looking for a program to further their musical abilities.”

Every Learn & Master program enables customers to teach themselves within the comfort of their own homes and most importantly at their own pace. “As a songwriter for many years, I have discovered the importance of knowing how to play an instrument,” says Sandy Mason, songwriter on Garth Brooks’ #1 Two Pina Coladas and Crystal Gayle’s When I Dream. “After viewing the videos and reading the book that’s included in the Learn & Master Guitar course, I quickly learned that this is a must for any artist or songwriter. I would highly recommend this product. It’s first class.”

“As instructive programs this gets the gold ribbon!” says SESAC Executive VP Dennis Lord. “This is as good, no better than being face to face with a live teacher because it's 24/7. Steve Krenz is so engaging, non threatening and easy to follow.”

The Legacy Learning team has developed programs that not only work for the individual, but find placements in home and public school systems. “We are living in an age of declining art and music in schools,” says Michael Johnathon folksinger, creator, producer and host of WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour. “We are being introduced to the first generation in human history that absorbs music and art almost exclusively as a two-dimensional experience. It is all ear buds, iPods, computers, car speakers and flat screen TVs. Yet, music and art remain one of the most passionate needs of people lost in this two-dimensional world. Legacy Learning Systems is the key that can open that door for families nationwide and for generations to come.”
