We will study all basic aspects of playing guitar together as a class: this includes playing guitar chords to back up singing singing, playing melodies on the guitar, general knowledge about the instrument, and general knowledge about musical theory using the guitar as our medium.
Examples of possible songs:
Jingle Bells
Silent Night
Blowin in the Wind
Happy Birthday
Like a River Glorious
Examples of concepts covered:
What are the basic guitar chords?
How should the guitar be strummed?
What is a musical key and why does it matter?
How could I transpose a song?
How could I write my own song?
This class is meant to fun and relaxed while also being educational, hopefully inspiring students to embark upon or help them along their own musical journeys.
