Beginner Level
Designed for an overview of the guitar and to get young, aspiring players up and running. This class will deliver the basics through song performance and guide the learner through set up to performing. The courses is just the right length - 2 weeks - for young learners to pick up a few skills, and if they enjoy it, there are more byte-sized classes that will help them with specific skills as they choose their pathway in guitar playing. Classes are short and frequent to meet the needs of young learner preferences and allow the teacher to maintain and guide performance habits. Learners in this class are not out there alone! In between meetings and guided sessions, learners can complete the optional assignments that include taking a video of their practice and song creation, send it to the teacher, and she will send a video or written response back! As your learner decides the guitar is great for them, check out the rest of the series for more ways to learn and enjoy playing the guitar. As this is an introductory and exploratory approach, expected learner growth levels are Novice to Novice Essential Questions: How do performers select repertoire? How do musicians improve the quality of their performance?
