𝑾𝑯𝑶 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑳𝑫 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺? This class is for beginners who've never played before. We're learning basic chords, transitioning and strumming as a foundation for future, more advanced guitar skills. Every session comes with a slideshow and/or videos for reference and additional practice. In my welcome email, I include all details for class setup and success. ⭐️ Siblings who take the class together must have their own guitars and separate Zoom devices. ⭐️ 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰𝑺 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑬𝑵𝑬𝑭𝑰𝑻 𝑶𝑭 𝑨 𝑮𝑹𝑶𝑼𝑷 𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺? Group classes are affordable! It’s a great way to find out if your child has an interest in guitar before investing further. 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰𝑺 𝑴𝑺. 𝑱𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑺 𝑳𝑰𝑲𝑬? ⭐ I relate well with kids and am able to break things down into logical, easy-to-follow steps ⭐ I’m experienced in finding ways to reach all types of learners - auditory, visual and kinesthetic ⭐ I strive to make every lesson a five-star experience ⭐ I see my role as a confidence builder and encourager ⭐ I've taken time to film tutorials so you can have them when we're apart because I want you to feel supported If you like this type of student/teacher connection, we’re a fit! 𝑻𝑶𝑷𝑰𝑪𝑺 𝑪𝑶𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑬𝑫 𝑶𝑽𝑬𝑹 𝑭𝑰𝑹𝑺𝑻 𝟒 𝑾𝑬𝑬𝑲 𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺: See Syllabus section for weekly lesson description 𝑻𝑼𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑩𝑬𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑬 𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺: Time constraints will not allow for us to tune our guitars in class so you'll need to tune prior to your arrival. Please see the materials section for your tuning options. 𝑰𝑴𝑷𝑶𝑹𝑻𝑨𝑵𝑻 𝑻𝑶 𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬: 🚩 Arriving on time is CRITICAL. Students who come late will not be "caught up" after the group has advanced. 🚩 If a class is missed, students must review the Outschool recording and/or all slideshow/video materials I additionally link in the classroom stream. There are no makeup sessions. These materials are included with your enrollment for all missed classes. 🚩 It's a group class, so the curriculum is set. Students must do their outside work and arrive prepared to move forward because the class can not go backwards for students who didn't reinforce the lessons on their own time. 𝑷𝑹𝑰𝑶𝑹 𝑬𝑿𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑪𝑬: This class is strictly for beginners. If you know how to play chords already, this class will not be beneficial.

Supply List
🎸 You will need a guitar. 🎸 You will need picks - thin for classical and acoustic or thick for electric. 🎸 You will need a way to tune your guitar. You may choose to purchase an electronic guitar tuner (battery operated), or as the parent or guardian, you may use an Android or iPhone app you research and feel comfortable using to tune your child's guitar. Please note that I do not require or endorse any specific apps for this course.

All YouTube videos that go with slideshows will be embedded into the Outschool classroom so that it is COPPA compliant and learners are not directed to the YouTube site to view it. This is standard practice on Outschool.
