Lets Sing & Learn Guitar!
Learning happens when students enjoy the process of learning. In this class, we will sing and learn how to play the instrument: Guitar.
As a part of this class, I will share with my student's variety of books written by great musicians in the western world. On the instrument, we would like to start from the basics by doing some finger exercises, knowledge of scales, and chords. and then learn the song. This process will have the students learn deeper on the study of music.
