In this beginner guitar class, the student will learn basic guitar and their second song from my courses. We will be concentrating on the first two strings (E and B) and frets one and three. Terms and action words: fret board, frets, open string, neck, body, string names, finger positions, picking, sound, vibration, measure, bar line, double bar line, practice, sustain and demonstrate There will be ample opportunity for the learners to interact and play for the group as well as quiet listening as I demonstrate the different notes and song. Some basic experience required but not limited to.
Learning Goals
The learner will learn how to hold their guitar, a short discussion on the care of the instrument, names of the strings, explanation of the fret board, basic finger picking, pressing down on the strings to produce a good sound and how to perform in front of a small audience. At the end of this lesson the learner will be able to play "Ode To Joy," with or without music.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, and welcome to my page! I look forward to teaching your children: music, nature and / or photography! I believe that in observing nature you can also hear the sounds and trills of music with the rustling of the trees, trickling of water at a stream or bird bath and of course from all the trill's and calls of birds and the vast amount of insects as with the tymbals (drum-like organs) of the cicada's!
Before I list the classes that I teach, I would like to give a little insight of my Education and background. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education - All Level and I have taught all levels, from Pre-K to 12th grade. I began my teaching as a Band Director specializing in Bb Clarinet and have taught and currently own a Flute, Recorder, Eb Alto Saxophone and Bb Clarinet. In 1999 I moved on to teaching Elementary Music where I continued to teach many of the instruments listed above with the addition of: piano, guitar, banjo, trumpet, violin and percussion.
Upon retiring from the same School District of 34 years I continued giving private lessons at my home to present. So, I am offering music classes that will include but not limited to: Recorder, Flute, Bb Clarinet, Eb Alto Saxophone, piano, violin, guitar, banjo and percussion. My love for nature, animals and photography has flourished since retirement and I will be offering similar subjects that would include but not limited to: backyard bird feeders, humming birds, fluttering butterflies and dragonflies, crawling insects and much more!!!
I believe that given the right opportunity, every child can learn, exceed and more important, have fun doing just that. If my students / learners, are not having fun and learning at the same time then I'm not succeeding to teach with passion. I do expect politeness, energy and respect from both the learner and myself.
About my teaching surroundings and other fun sounds!!!
At any given moment, you might hear a funny sound, a loud sound, a bell clinging or someone repeating what I say or play. I have two parrots in the next room that love music, repeat rhymic patterns, count to 3, keep the same steady beat and just start having a conversation!!! Keeping my birds and I company are my kitties!!!! Never a dull moment here at my studio!!!
Looking forward to teaching your children!!!
