Class Experience
In our classes you can learn how to play guitar, ukulele, or piano. We will start with the fundamentals of the instrument going over it's parts, seating and hand positions, and how to tune (where applicable). Depending on the students age, ability, and what they wish to learn we may pursue any of the following topics: learning and performing songs/pieces, reading music, composing, or even music theory. Whichever path we choose, we will learn to perform dynamically with proper technique....
- Students will learn about the instrument of their choice, how to read, understand, interpret, and perform music, technique plus proper seating and hand positions.
Chad has over 20 years teaching experience and a bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance.
