Getting to know the guitar is so much fun! We'll learn the names of the parts of the guitar and how to tune it. We’ll dig into basic open chords, strums and fingerpicking patterns. We'll listen to and talk about our favorite music and why we like it. And, of course, we’ll learn to play some songs and make the world a better place!

Students must bring their own instrument. If your student is smaller, we recommend that your student have a 3/4 size guitar with nylon strings for this class. If you already have a guitar, that will work too. Contact the instructors at [email protected] or [email protected] for recommendations on an affordable (and playable!) instrument for your child or other questions. Also, if you do not have the book from last spring's session, you will need to purchase that, contact Joey for the Amazon link.
