Beginner Level
This is a class for beginners with no experience needed. If you think your child will like guitar lessons but want to test run a lesson before a long commitment, this is for you. I have been teaching at a prestigious University fifteen years and I have learned that beginners excel in a group setting. I bring all my experience to this course to teach the fundamentals of the guitar. Topics include Learn the parts of the guitar and the proper way to hold it. Learn the names of the strings Learn basic chords Learn how to count and read rhythms Learn how to read tablature The class is structured in a small group format. The lesson material is presented by the instructor and each student will have the opportunity to demonstrate the concepts. My teaching is based on a masterclass format and I use positive reinforcement to engage and motivate the student. All learners have the opportunity to interact with the teacher and ask questions. Everyone learns at a different pace but the group dynamics move the entire class at a steady pace which is optional for learning.
Learning Goals
The student will learn how to hold the guitar, the names of the strings, and a few basic chords.
