The goal
Play 5 songs on the guitar by this time next year
Make it yours: change the highlighted parts, the numbers and the wording. In Ascanti the dates are set from the quarter you start in.
How you'll know you got there
5 songs I can play start to finish, and I've played them for someone.
Why this works
Adults learning an instrument often quit in the frustrating first weeks. Short daily practice beats long weekly sessions, and learning real songs you love keeps it fun. This plan sets 15 minutes of daily practice, a teacher or course for structure, and a goal of songs you can actually play for someone.
Milestones
One checkpoint for each of the first three quarters. The goal itself lands in the fourth.
- Quarter 1Basics: daily practice going and my first song played slowly
- Quarter 2Growing: 3 songs learned at a steady tempo
- Quarter 3Recorded: my best song recorded to hear how far I've come
Key results
Numbers you can check at any point to see whether you're on track.
