Children will learn basic guitar technique and the fundamentals of music.
In this fun and supportive class, students will learn how to tune the guitar, hold a pick, read chord diagrams and play open chords, learn basic finger exercises and technique. Students will receive individualized attention, while enjoying the camaraderie and support of learning with friends!
Please note: Each student must own their own guitar, and bring it to class each week (it is recommended that for students under 7 years old that they use a ½ size, and preferably a nylon string, acoustic guitar). Each student should bring a folder and guitar tuner to class. It is expected that students will practice at home for 10 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.
Class is limited to six students.
