Guitar Classes for Kids and Teens
BEGINNING GUITAR CLASS
Topics in our beginner classes include basic chords, strumming patterns, and finger style techniques, which are taught through a variety of pop, rock, and folk songs. You’ll learn not only good finger technique and how to get a clear tone, but also how to make music by establishing a beat and playing with good rhythm. Through our focus on learning rhythm and song forms, you’ll be playing fun songs all the way through.
Our goal is to help younger students develop an excitement and love of the guitar and music. Students acquire solid guitar skills and ultimately become self-sufficient in learning new songs on their own. They are poised to continue learning in any style of guitar.
A reasonable amount of practice time each week is all students need to experience growth and success. To help you succeed, you’ll receive clear guides for what to practice each week and how to practice effectively.
At the end of the session, class members are encouraged to perform a song together for family and friends at one of our very popular showcase events, held at a local restaurant. Join the fun!
Classes run for 10 weeks. There are four to six students per class.
Cost: $325.00 (for 10 weeks). All written materials are included.
Location: Metro Voice Media, Bethesda MD (see Locations)
Refund policy: A 100% refund is available if you cancel before the second class in the session. If you decide to drop out after the second class, you are entitled to a pro-rated credit (not a refund) that can be applied to future classes or private lessons.
