Beginning Guitar is an instrumental music elective designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of guitar playing. Over the course of a single trimester, students learn essential skills such as chord shapes, strumming patterns, note reading, and basic music theory. Whether you’ve never picked up a guitar before or have only played casually, this class provides a supportive and engaging environment to build a solid foundation.

Beyond the basics, Guitar Class encourages creativity and gives students the tools to continue learning and playing on their own after the course ends. With a focus on both individual progress and ensemble-style playing, students gain confidence while discovering the joy of making music.
