Course taught by Jerry

Guitar: These lessons are suitable for any age from elementary through high school, or any adult member of the family. Students will learn the fundamentals of the guitar, including tuning and basic chords. Students then progress to scales, triads, and more. By the end of the course, students will be able to play simple pieces. While this is an introductory course, students will learn many of the basics they will need to progress as a guitarist and will also have a chance to determine just how interested they are in the work that is involved in progressing in this area.
