​BEGINNER GUITAR LESSONS​
Facilitated by Chuck Bowie
Monday afternoons. This course is designed to teach beginner guitar students the basics of guitar: the component parts such as frets, basic guitar/music theory such as keys, notes and chords, transitioning from chord to chord, and performing a number of songs.The songs have been chosen to help the student to strum the guitar, as well as to identify when to change chords during the song.
Students can suggest songs to learn, and asking questions is a very informal process.
Please bring your own guitar. $10 dollar per class. 6 week sessions. This class is currently full.
