P L E A S E   N O T E : 

   🎵 Students will need an acoustic or classical guitar, or an electric guitar plugged into an amp.
   🎵 Students must tune their guitar BEFORE class starts. We will send resources to help you do so, but this takes lots of our class time to do & it's difficult to help each student individually.
   🎵 Absolutely NO previous guitar experience required!
