Class Experience
Guitar In this beginners' guitar class, Students will learn to play the guitar, while learning different hand positions, holding the pick, and proper finger formation. We will cover the difference between “notes” and “chords". Reading strum marks, music measures, and chord frames. This class is great for students who are beginners or who have already played the guitar before and would like to increase their skill level. Each class focuses on strumming patterns and chords for the song of the week! We will play easy songs with simplified chords. ***** Please note that if your child has already had a group class with Mr. Steve that this one-on-one class can be tailored to meet your students skill set so they are progressing at their own pace. :) Children will have the opportunity to ask questions, show what they know and ask for an individualized guitar lesson plan since this is a one-on-one class. Students can join in whenever they want to and drop off. Week of July 18th - “Are You Strumming” Week of July 25th- “Coconut.” Week of August 1st –“Yellow Submarine” Week of August 8th “The Hokey Pokey” Week of August 15th - "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountains" Ukulele In this beginners' ukulele class, Students will learn to play the ukulele, while leaning in different hand positions, holding the pick, and proper finger formation.
