Class Experience
'Getting Started on Guitar - Introduction' is a one-time starter class for beginners. Students will learn about the different parts of a guitar, how to sit and hold the guitar properly and where to place the fingers for a good sound. They will find out how to tune the guitar. They will also learn their first two chords and use these to strum in time as they play their first song. This starter lesson can be followed up, if the student wishes, by enrolling on the five week 'Getting Started on...
Students will be familiar with the parts of a guitar and know how to sit correctly, hold the guitar properly and place fingers in the right place to form two chords. They will gain experience of strumming in time to a song.
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.
Following the lesson, students should practise each day for 10-15 minutes, changing between two chords and using the practice video to play along to a song.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
