Beginner Level
Hello learners and grownups! So glad for you to (re)join me as we continue learning to play guitar! If your learner did not take the first course (Beginner Guitar 1: Let’s Learn Children’s Songs) but knows how to tune their instrument and knows a handful of chords already (at least G, C, D, and A) they will be ready for this class without taking the first one! In this 10 week course we will be picking up where left off in the previous course by continuing to learn more songs, chords, and theory. At the start of each class we will go over any new chords or songs learned at the previous class, and each learner will be given the opportunity to play one of the songs learned previously in class so they can demonstrate their progress since the last class. We will aim to learn at least one new song in each class, depending on time we may learn two or three.
Learning Goals
By the end of this course learners should know at least 6 chords and be able to transpose their songs between 5 different keys.

Hello parents and learners!

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee (USA) and in addition to music I also love raising rabbits, pollinator gardening, and reading! I and my husband currently live with our five beautiful children in the state of North Carolina. I am excited to be part of the Outschool family!
Music has always been a big part of my life, starting with classical piano, which I began at age 8, taking private lessons from a professor at the University of Tennessee. Later on, in my teens, my interests shifted to strings and traditional Appalachian and Celtic music. I learned from many people, including bluegrass musician Justin Moses and as a student of Jim Wood at the Jim and Inge Wood School of Music. As a young adult, I worked as a volunteer interpreter at Cade’s Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, teaching park visitors about Appalachian music. I have played professionally for weddings and other events, in restaurant house bands, as well as at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN. I have led traditional music demonstrations for public school classes, in addition to teaching privately for many years.
I am passionate about introducing young people to traditional Appalachian and Celtic music and helping them perfect their skills!
I primarily teach fiddle/violin and Appalachian old-time and Celtic music, but also bluegrass, Western swing and Texas contest-style fiddle. I also play guitar, both standard and Celtic (DADGAD), piano, mandolin, recorder, penny whistle, mountain dulcimer, ukulele and Irish bouzouki.
I see each learner as a unique individual and cater my teaching approach to best suit their needs and interests.Reviews
