ADULT GROUP GUITAR CLASSES

Enrolling now for June 2012

Course information

The beginners adult group guitar lessons classes take place over ten weeks at Strathbrock Community Centre, Broxburn. The second level & advanced guitar workshops take place at Deans Community High School, Livingston, West Lothian The course at Strathbrock is suitable for beginners who have played little or no guitar before as well as those in the early stages of learning. The courses at Deans are for students who have previously attended either one to one private guitar lessons or beginners guitar group class.

The class is aimed at giving you a basic understanding of how to play the guitar, in a relaxed, informative and friendly environment. I choose well known and popular songs including some songs selected by the group, to encourage practice and to learn the skills required to play guitar.

By learning a musical instrument, such as the guitar, you are opening a door to your own understanding and greater enjoyment of something that touches everyones life on a daily basis. Make a sound. Share the music.

You will need to bring your own guitar as they are not provided during the lesson.

The course covers

  • learning how to play basic major and minor chords
  • strumming techniques
  • fingerstyle patterns
  • scales (chromatic - pentatonic - diatonic)
  • basic theory
  • reading tab
  • melody and song structure
  • guitar tunings
