Learning Outcomes
The student will be able to play a number of songs on their own or with a group. This will include the ability to:
- Name the different parts of the guitar
- Hold the guitar correctly
- Tune the guitar
- Play chords
- Strum rhythms
- Play a finger-picking style
- Pick out a melody
- Learn to read a guitar song & lyric sheet
- Play a song with either their own vocal or accompanying vocal
A wide range of songs are available to learn, including:
- Recent pop songs
- Favourite children's songs
- Traditional folk songs
- Hit songs from 1950's – 2000's by popular artists
Each student will need:
- Their own guitar. Depending on the size of the child he or she may need a 1/2, 3/4 or full size guitar. The best type to learn on is a nylon stringed guitar, often called a Classical or Folk guitar. From this you can progress towards a steel-stringed or electric guitar
- An A4 plastic sleeved folder or ring-binder. As the weeks progress I will provide copies of songs and information for the student to collect
- A book of Guitar Chords. These are available in most music stores
- The student may wish to purchase their own book of songs by a particular artist. This may be a way to encourage them to be enthusiastic about learning the guitar
- PRACTICE! Learning anything new requires practice. The guitar can be easy if the first stages of learning are overcome quickly through regular practice. A couple of times a week for 15 – 30 minutes is often enough. Every day is better! Keep your guitar handy and easy to see and reach
