Class experience
'Getting Started on Guitar - 5 Week Class' is a series of lessons for students who are beginning to learn to play the guitar. It follows naturally from the 'Getting Started on Guitar - Introduction' class, which is the best place to begin. However, if a student wishes to enroll for the 5 Week Class without having taken the Introduction first, the content for the Introduction can be covered during the first lesson. The 5 Week Class is taught to individual students rather than in a group. In...
Students will know how to sit, hold and tune the guitar properly. They will learn how to read chord diagrams and play a variety of chords and songs, strumming in time and beginning to use different strumming patterns. They will learn to play a 12 bar blues pattern. They will begin to name and play notes on the first 3 strings and all the open string notes. They will be introduced to playing bass notes with chords and two simple fingerstyles.
It has been my privilege and joy to teach guitar for over 35 years and to teach and work with children and young people for a similar amount of time. I am a qualified UK Primary School Teacher but currently work as a church pastor. I have a BEd (Hons.) degree in Primary Later Years (Expressive Arts). I enjoy playing music in rock, pop, folk, blues, jazz and classical styles, and also play piano, drums and bass guitar. I like to help students build knowledge, skills and confidence step by step, and above all to enjoy learning.
Homework Offered
Following each lesson, students should practise each day for 10-15 minutes, changing between chords and going over the skills learned in the lesson, using a practice video to play along.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
