No previous experience required as we will cover everything needed to enjoy learning guitar in this beginner class. Each week we will do the following: - How to hold and sit with the guitar. - The basics parts of the instrument. - Rhythm practice. How to Count & Strum Rhythms: - We start by learning the very basics, and foundational so students can truly enjoy playing songs. How to Read Guitar Tablature: - Guitar is unlike all other instruments, in that it has its very own sheet music. Tablature or "TAB" (as we refer to it) is a very simple and straight forward way to read and write music on guitar. Students will learn in their first lesson how read guitar tablature with very easy introductory practice. How to Hold & Use a Guitar Pick: - Guitar plectrums or (Guitar Pick for short) are crucial to playing different styles of music on guitar. Students will learn how to hold the pick, how to strum with it, and how to pick individual notes. How to Fret Notes: - Fretting a note on the guitar has a lot to do with your entire posture and positioning of your arms, wrist, and the guitar itself.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
- It's best to get your learner into the habit of 10 minutes of daily guitar practice.
- The duration of the daily practice doesn't have to be long but the consistency is what will make learning guitar as easy and as the most fun possible.
- Please connect to the meeting on time.
Connection/join attempts after 5 minutes I can't allow as it interrupts the lesson and class.
Supply List
- 3/4 size STEEL or NYLON 6 string Acoustic Guitar with all 6 strings intact and tuned. - Guitar Tuner either an App or tuning device. The GuitarTuna app works well. - A comfortable (armless) office chair for in-class learning and practice. Piano benches work as well. - Guitar Capo

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome!
I believe that music has the power to make profound differences in people lives and learning to how play an instrument can be life changing. When you start learning how to play an instrument at a young age you obtain cognitive benefits that also help you in many other aspects of life.
As a professional musician that has taught all ages for 10+ years I've seen students gain self esteem, confidence, purpose and a more profound love for music. I also write and perform my own music and have been involved with many music groups.
Through my experience I have learned fun and enjoyable ways to learn and teach not only guitar but music through guitar that gets students interested, educated and excited.
Music and guitar has brought me endless focus, joy, and discipline my entire life. I enjoy teaching and find it highly rewarding to see new students develop their music knowledge and abilities at a pace that works for them.
See you in class!Reviews
