This class is open to all grade levels, and it is a One Semester course.

 



Prerequisites: Must own or rent an acoustic guitar, and must be a beginning guitarist with less than six months playing experience.

Using a variety of pop, fold, jazz, and classical songs, students will study, practice, and play in these various styles. Students will learn correct fingering of the guitar, reading of music (and Tablature), and various picking and rythym styles. Students will be expected to have good daily attendance, complete work on time, bring a guitar to class, make good use of practice time, take notes during lectures, and have a desire to learn many styles of playing. (Not just your favorite band!) All songs presented will be demonstrated by the teacher, with material and techniques becoming progressively more difficult.
