Students will learn how to play the notes on the first 3 strings of the guitar. They will learn modified and/or full forms of the chords C, G, and D. By the end of the course, students will have learned 3 songs, "Spanish Theme," "Ode to Joy," and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
I have over 14 years experience teaching piano and guitar lessons to students ages 5 to adult. Additionally, I am certified in special education and have experience working with students with disabilities.
