This semester-long guitar course introduces students to the fundamentals of guitar playing through hands-on instruction and guided practice. Students will learn proper posture and technique, basic music reading, chord shapes, strumming and picking patterns, and introductory music theory concepts. The course emphasizes consistent practice, listening skills, and musical expression while building confidence in individual and group performance. By the end of the semester, students will be able to perform simple melodies and songs, accompany themselves and others, and demonstrate a foundational understanding of guitar technique and musicianship. Individual self practice is required!

This semester-long course offers individualized instruction in both voice and piano, tailored to each student’s skill level and musical goals. Whether you’re a beginner exploring music for the first time or a more advanced student refining your technique, this course provides the foundation and flexibility to grow as a well-rounded musician.

Throughout the semester, students will work on solo repertoire in both disciplines, with opportunities to perform and end-of-semester recitals. Regular practice outside of lessons is essential for progress and will be supported through goal-setting and practice strategies.
