👉 Join me in singing and playing nursery rhymes and children’s songs by learning how to strum different rhythm patterns & hold 6 chords. We will play easy songs with simplified chords C Major, G Major, Am (A minor), F Major, G7 and D Major. Learners can ask questions, play rhythmic games, answer questions, practice songs at different speeds, and learn to play the guitar songs below.
👉 For absolute beginners or those at a beginner level.
👉 Each class focuses on a simple strumming pattern, and then we will practise the chords for each song.
👉 Learners are welcome to come and go as our classes do not build in curriculum.
