Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
This class is strictly for beginners. If you know how to play chords already, this class will not be beneficial.
🎸 You will need a guitar. 🎸 You will need a guitar tuning app (I use Guitar Tuna which requires parental consent) or an electronic guitar tuner.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Guitar Tuna app: In addition to the Outschool classroom, you will need a way to tune the guitar. You may choose to purchase an electronic tuner or utilize a tuning app for iPhone or Android. I personally use the Guitar Tuna app. You'll need to give your child parental consent to use this app or you may choose to tune the guitar for your child using the app yourselves. YouTube: All YouTube videos that go with slideshows will be linked into the Outschool classroom instead so that learners are not directed to the YouTube site.
