Folk Guitar: Beginner I (CP215)

CP – Performing Arts Participation

Students need little or no experience playing the guitar. Learn in simple, doable steps so that the experience is pleasurable and low stress. Explore playing chords while singing familiar songs, and playing by ear. Experience the benefits of music; realize your innate ability to participate in creating music. Have fun! A course book, covering semesters I & II, will be available to students in class for less than $10. Instructors expect that masks will be required in this class.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
