This guitar class is designed for students who have completed Part 1 and Part 2 beginner guitar courses. Students who have not completed those courses may send me a private message to discuss being placed in an appropriate class. Learning a musical instrument is fun, fulfilling, and challenging. Through guitar lessons, students explore a wide variety of musical styles and sounds, and learn how to express and interpret emotions. It's easy to learn when you are having fun! That's why I teach the fundamentals of music through the songs that students love. Some of the concepts we will learn are: Proper playing and singing posture How to hold, tune, and take care of our instruments and voices How to read rhythms and notes on a musical staff and in tablature How to sight-sing and recognize solfeggi hand symbols How to play and sing familiar songs to warm up the hands and/or voice How to play major scales and arpeggios How to read chord charts and lyric sheets How to play your favorite songs and have fun!
Learning Goals
We will work together to set individual goals for each student. Progress depends on the amount of practice outside of lessons that students do. I believe it is important to master one concept before moving on to another, and let the learner set the pace.
