Details about this class
We meet once a week on Monday mornings via Zoom from 9:00 - 11:50. You will have the opportunity to learn guitar with me to guide you and also make friends with other students in the class with whom you can share the learning journey.
This is a really fun class for anyone who wants to learn guitar. It is a beginner class and we will cover learning to read music on the guitar, classical techniques, fingerpicking, chord strumming, and some practical theory. You will need to have a guitar for this class. Classical and some flamenco guitar techniques are taught. The coursework is broken up into weekly modules with weekly quizzes and assignments to help you learn better.
