This is a beginner class for students who have not yet learned a song on their guitar. Students are expected to know the song well enough to follow along with the melody and lyrics. We will learn basic tuning and the chords required to play "Ocean Eyes". The strumming will be a simple down strum. A guitar pick is not required, I encourage students to learn guitar using their hands before they grab a pick. By the time class is done, students will be able to play the guitar chords required for the song. Although, some students might require extra practice outside of class to get the song exactly how they'd like. Starting to play a song you enjoy is perfect for staying motivated while learning an instrument :)

Hi there! My name is Gabriela and I teach Songwriting, Voice, and Spanish - beginner guitar too!
***I hope you're having a great 2025 so far. You'll notice that I have reduced availability. Until October of 2025 I will not be able to offer consistent weekly classes, but I will have flexibility to do mentorships and sporadic classes. Please message me if this is what you're looking for.***
I'm an independent songwriter currently writing songs in Spanish and English. You can find my music wherever you stream your music (Gabi Besel). Here is my YouTube as well: https://www.youtube.com/@gabibeselmusic
Songwriting is one of my favorite things to do, teach, and talk about. I believe that is holds immense power for expressing ourselves, documenting life, and connecting with others. I offer songwriting journals on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AGabriela%2BBesel&s=relevancerank&text=Gabriela+Besel&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2
When I'm not teaching I am fully immersed in my craft and career as a singer-songwriter. As well as seeking other business opportunities such as selling songwriting journals on Amazon through my brand, Melancholy Society.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I find that I value - above all - the emotional comfort of each student (in a situation where their physical safety and health are already taken care of). This is because I believe learning is maximized when each person is comfortable, engaged, and in harmony with their self-expression. I value establishing trust in a student/teacher relationship, as well as hearing my student's learning needs, so I can assist them in a way that is best for THEM.
I teach my subjects in a way that requires active participation and collaboration with activities such as games, conversations, and hands-on activities.
Students hold the power to creating the learning experience that suits them best, and it's my job to guide them through realizing that power.
I can't wait to go on this journey with you!
