This course is designed for students who are interested to learn how to play the guitar. We start with the basics of note reading and picking out the melody. From there we learn some basic chords and learn songs that incorporate them. Students are expected to practice daily to make sure concepts are being learned and understood. We always review what was learned in the previous class, so we can build on our skills.
To get the most out of the course, we will also be doing some song writing, where students are encouraged to learn new chords and create a song with catchy lyrics and present it to the class.
Students are also encouraged to perform throughout the semester, whether it be out in the community or in the talent show. Each student has to perform at least once in a school run event (talent show or Christmas Concert - See dates in the important dates tab) REMEMBER: if you are nervous, eat a banana before you perform, as there is potassium in them to help calm your nerves!
