Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(120)

In this FLEXIBLE 4-week course students will read music from the treble clef and play simple melodies/chords on the guitar.

Class Experience

Students will need to own a guitar that is comfortable for young hands to hold.  An adult will need to tune the guitar daily for students, I will give easy instructions to adults on how to tune the needed string(s).  

Students will learn how to play simple melodies each week focusing on reading notes from the treble clef staff.  Students will need to purchase two books to help the learn how to read the music.  Students will learn basic traditional music symbols and notation via slide shows...

The goals for this course will be to learn how to read and perform guitar music, write simple melodies with guidance and begin reading elementary rhythms.

I have been teaching guitar since I was in high school.  I have had almost 2 decades of experience working in the elementary classroom and really try to connect with students to help them understand and enjoy the language of music.
