In this 4-Day Summer Camp, students will be given an introduction to guitar playing. This is a fun way to try out the guitar as a new instrument and to see if a student may have an interest in continuing with private lessons in the future.
 
In this class we will be learning:
Names of the strings
How to strum and pick 
Strumming rhythms
How to read music (there is no expectation that students will learn how to fully read music in just four days, it is an introduction to a few notes and HOW to read music)
Music Notation and Rhythm
A few basic songs
Chords
Using the chords to create your own song

DAY 1: Intro to the Instrument, Tuning, using a pick, how to strum and pick, learning our first notes!
DAY 2: Reviewing first 3 notes and reading music, counting and rhythm, our first chord
DAY 3: Playing first 3 notes with more advanced music, learning about TAB, playing first chord and learning another chord
DAY 4: Learning second string with new notes, reading music and strumming chords
DAY 5: Reviewing all notes with warmups, new music, strumming three chords and wrap-up!


If there is more time in class we will include more strings and notes, more chords and strumming techniques.
Tuning will be discussed but students are expected to try to tune their guitars BEFORE class. If this is difficult please contact me before the first class and I am happy to help.

My hope is that students have fun, get to know the guitar, and develop a passion for wanting to continue in the future!
