Questions are welcome both before, during & after class. While learners do not need to have access to an instrument for this class, if they wish to play a song they have written, it would be beneficial to have the instrument ready for class. Other topics can be covered on request.

Since this is a 1:1 class, all curriculum will be learner-directed. Any level from beginner to advanced is welcome.
