Guitar Unit
Hi Everyone! Below are the rubrics, and (posted as pdfs at the bottom) assignments for your two guitar quizzes, and a study guide to help you do a good job on your quizzes. You may proceed practicing for these quizzes at your own speed, and may take them when you are ready (please let me know when you are). You must take both, but not necessarily in numerical order. You will need the "assignment" and the "rubric" for each quiz. I have also shared these documents with you on your Google Drive; search for a folder titled "Mr. Hakim's General Music - Guitar Quizzes".
Check out these videos of great guitarists playing a variety of styles!
