GUITAR LAB CLASSES
Two age groups offered: 7-11 year olds, 12 years and up
These are introductory guitar classes for beginners with up to eight students in each class. We focus on
learning to tune the guitar, reading music, melody playing, chords and strumming, basic skills and techniques, and
ensemble playing. Students use a songbook plus a music workbook. Since the classes are designed for students to
progress at their own pace, the teacher helps each student individually for a portion of the class, and we also
play together in ensemble (great for building listening skills and steady rhythm). Parent Performance Days are
scheduled throughout the year, and the teacher will assess the student’s progress and recommend private guitar
lessons at the appropriate time. Students bring their acoustic or electric guitar to class (rental guitars
available).
