Acoustic Guitar for Beginners - Ongoing Class!
Class experience
In this ongoing course, students will learn the basic chords necessary to play a variety of beginner songs. We will practice 2-3 chords each week, practice the correct finger and hand positions for each chord, and practice a basic strum pattern. We will also practice switching from chord to chord while singing a song. The goal will be to play a song (slowly!) together by the end of each class. We will play songs such as: Itsy Bitsy Spider Mary Had a Little Lamb Twinkle, Twinkle Little...
Students will learn basic guitar chords, hand positioning, finger positioning, and a basic strum pattern. Students will also learn beginner songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and "Old McDonald Had a Farm."
Homework Offered
Students will be required to practice a minimum of 30 minutes per week over a 2-3 day period. Frequency over the length of practice time is preferred. For example, I prefer a student to practice 5-10 minutes per day, 3 days per week than to practice 30 minutes in one day and not touch the guitar again for the rest of the week. IMPORTANT: Please be sure to tune your learner's guitar prior to each practice session AND each lesson. Instruments get out of tune easily and quickly.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
