Class experience
I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes. This is a beginner guitar class, for students brand new to playing guitar. I will give the an overview of some different ways to tune their guitar and demonstrate how to use my preferred method, which is the GuitarTuna app or online tuner. GuitarTuna is a free app or a free online guitar tuner. I will help the students tune the two strings we will be using for our songs, during the first class. We will tune the...

I am an Outschool teacher that has been teaching online since May 2020. I have 20+ years experience, as a music teacher. My teaching experience includes all types of student learning styles, and levels. I have experience with classroom teaching at the preschool level, elementary and high school level. I was head of the music department at a private high school in Maryland. I taught private piano and guitar lessons at a guitar shop, for 5 years, in addition to my own private students in my studio.
Acoustic or Electric Guitar Amplifier if needed for electric guitar Guitar picks are optional If possible, the student should have a separate device with GuitarTuna open on that device. That way I can help them to tune their own guitar strings, and see how GuitarTuna works in real time. If this is not possible, then I will still show the app in my screen during class, so that the students will get an idea of how to tune, and how GuitarTuna works.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Youtube may be used sometimes, for me to play a part of a song during class, if it is a song we are learning, so they can hear how the rhythm goes. I may sometimes post a youtube link for the song we are practicing, in the classroom, if I think the students will learn the song better by listening to or and playing along with it. I ask that the students use the GuitarTuna app or GuitarTuna online tuner. That is my preferred tuner and I will teach them how to use it during the first class. I will post a link for the GuitarTuna, online version, in the classroom. You can find the free GuitarTuna app for your phone, in your play store or app store on your phone. If the student needs help Tuning their guitar, I offer a "How to Tune Your Guitar" class. Another option is taking the guitar to your local guitar shop and they can tune it for you, usually for a fee. Electronic tuners are ok if your student is good at using it and can tune their guitar with it. Electronic tuners are not my favorite choice for beginners. **The electronic tuners are generally not as good for Beginners and especially difficult to use if the guitar is brand new (especially if it was shipped by Amazon) because the strings on the brand new guitar are often so low and so out of tune that the electronic tuner will not be much help, especially if you are not experienced at tuning the guitar .
I will provide all the song sheets and demo videos in the classroom.
