젊은 초보자를 위한 심플리 기타 - 2부

💙💜💛 Welcome to Sing Create Play!!

Has your child tried to learn the guitar but didn't go too far? This 6-week mini-course is designed to teach students how to play their guitar with information broken down into small chunks, so they don't find it overwhelming. Also, I included a variety of nursery rhymes and pop songs that children recognise and enjoy singing and playing. 

This guitar beginners class is enjoyable, interactive and learning is happening combined with lots of fun and giggles. I look forward to meeting you in class, singing and playing with you!
