Parental Guidance
- Please make sure you tune your guitar before class as we will not discuss tuning in this class.
- After you enrol your learner, there is a link to a Youtube Video in the classroom welcoming message. It explains how to tune your guitar using a guitar tuner app on your phone.
Supply List
➡️ Learners can use a pick, but it is not compulsory; I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking. ➡️ Please make sure you position the learners, so I can see their BOTH hands when playing, head to the waist, in a well-lit room. The young learner can sit on the floor, with their legs crossed. If they are joining from an iPad/laptop, they can also be on the floor or a little stool, it can point straight or downwards. ➡️ Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. 🎵 The teacher will provide the songs and other files (strumming and chord sheets); 🎵 Students can have a classical or an acoustic guitar as well as an electric guitar plugged into an amp and also a CAPO. 🎵 Tuner App 🎵 Please make sure you tune your guitar before class as we will not discuss tuning in this class. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any other questions.
