Come discover the fun of learning the guitar! This hands-on workshop will introduce you to basic music theory and playing notes, chords, and more. Each session over ten weeks will include playing songs in class. Besides practice songs, we’ll try out classic songs in jazz, blues, pop/rock, and country. An acoustic guitar in good condition with new strings installed in advance of the start of the workshop is strongly suggested. Topics planned include, but may not be limited to, instrument components; tuning; proper playing posture; instrument care; placing the correct fingers on the strings to play notes clearly; basic chords in the major keys; fundamental music reading; keeping time and tempo; and playing with other musicians.
