1-2 hours per week. We will practice during class but they will improve much more if they practice playing and strumming what they’ve learned on their own time as well. The students will also be taught a song that will be play and presented the final class in week 3. Their homework will be to practice the song and prepare for this presentation.Class Experience

Here is a breakdown of the course week by week: Week 1 Introduction to the different guitar parts. Learn how to properly hold the guitar. Learn how to tune with or without a guitar tuner. Learn how to play your first two guitar chords. Week 2 Learn some tips on how to easily switch from one chord to the next.

Learn how to play three more guitar chords that are very famous and used in many songs. Week 3 Learn two different playing styles: strumming and picking. We'll listen to different songs so that the student can identify the difference between these two playing styles. We introduce the idea of the final project for our final class. Students listen to the song and learn how to play. They will present this song in the final class.
