Description

Class Experience

In this 6-week live course, students will learn:
- 6 guitar chords as well as how to read chord charts.
- The anatomy of a guitar
- How to tune the guitar properly 
****** Students will be expected to tune their guitars outside of class. Tuning a guitar via zoom is very time-consuming. The app "GuitarTuna" is perfect for tuning, as well as guitar tuners that clip on to the guitar.

I encourage students to practice their guitar at a minimum of 5 minutes per day. Playing the guitar is a cumulative skill and it's best to play a little bit every day, instead of cramming before class.

- Learner will need a guitar that fits their hands properly.
- Guitar with all 6 strings
- If your child is left-handed, the strings will need to be flipped

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
