They will also be playing some real licks and actual music right from the start so their experience with the pedal steel is interesting and fun. Intermediate players will learn how to improvise and play in different keys and styles, so they can sit in with anyone and be able to play with any song without having it memorized. At this point you will start to hear your own style develop.
