In this one-on-one private lesson, students will learn how to play the guitar by reading music. Students will also study music theory and implement aspects of theory into their performance skills and knowledge. Students will play simple melodies, begin learning how to play chords and scales, plus be given the opportunity to play songs of their choice. Musicians will be encouraged to play for their families during this remote learning to enhance their comfortability at the guitar. This course will require students to use a book for their learning and practice material, though I will provide additional music when needed. During our lessons, slide presentations, as well as teacher demonstrations, will be used for instruction. Beginners may sign up for one-on-one sessions, no experience is needed, just want to learn how to play and have fun with the guitar.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to play melodies and read music.
