初學者吉他冬令營：4天彈奏一首歌

This class is for beginners who've never played before. Classical, acoustic or electric welcome. We're learning basic chords, transitioning, and strumming as a foundation for future, more advanced guitar skills. Every session comes with a slideshow and/or videos for reference and additional practice. In my welcome email, I include all details for class setup and success.

NOTE: For a 4 day, one week camp, many learners borrow a guitar to see if they have interest in guitar before buying. This is always a low-risk option, and is a nice way to test learner interest before investing in a personal instrument.

⭐️ Siblings who take the class together must each have their own guitar and separate Zoom device. ⭐️

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?
A guitar camp ensures every player practices 30 minutes consistently (in class) per day. Consistency advances guitar skills. A camp ensures that your learner will pick up the guitar daily. 

TOPICS COVERED
Please see a breakdown of days 1-4 in the syllabus section.

WHAT IS MS. VAL LIKE?
⭐  I relate well with kids and am able to break things down into logical, easy-to-follow steps
⭐  I’m experienced in finding ways to reach all types of learners - auditory, visual and kinetic
⭐  I strive to make every lesson a five-star experience 
⭐  I see my role as a confidence builder and encourager
⭐  I've taken time to film tutorials so you can have them when we're apart because I want you to feel supported

TUNING BEFORE CLASS
Time constraints will not allow for us to tune our guitars in class so you'll need to tune prior to your arrival. Please see the materials section for your tuning options.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
🚩 Arriving on time is CRITICAL. Students who come late will not be "caught up" after the group has advanced. 

🚩 If a class is missed, students must review the Outschool recording and/or all slideshow/video materials I additionally link in the classroom stream. There are no makeup sessions. These materials are included with your enrollment for all missed classes.

PRIOR EXPERIENCE
This class is strictly for beginners. If you know how to play chords already, this class will not be beneficial.
