We'll start with basic concepts and gradually introduce more complex techniques. The class will consist of practical demonstrations, exercises, and playing songs. I will teach through a combination of demonstration, explanation, and practice. I'll demonstrate proper techniques, explain concepts clearly, and provide exercises for students to practice both in class and at home. Learners will have ample opportunity to interact with me and each other. This will include: Demonstrations and explanations from me Practice sessions where I provide individual feedback Group discussions on techniques and challenges Q&A sessions for clarification
