Guitar Class
Highlights from my lesson on Pachelbel's "Canon". This piece was important for practicing our technique of string crossing for the first time in class. I also helped the class in learning new chords that use pivot fingers in order to transition smoothly from one to the next.

As part of my Bachelor Degree of Music Education I am required to take a group guitar instruction class. While this course teaches the fundamentals of playing the guitar, we also discuss techniques of teaching to fellow beginners. Part of this course was to teach my colleagues and write a review of the online resource guitarcurriculum.com. Although I never had the opportunity to have a guitar program in my school I understand the value of having this program to reach a new demographic of students. The skills one builds on the guitar can be applied to any style or genre of music so any students can pursue their interests in music. |
