Experience the joy of music through hands-on acoustic guitar instruction. Designed especially for beginners, students will learn 3–4 basic guitar chords and use them to play a simple, age-appropriate song by the end of the program. Explore music in a supportive, low-pressure environment without needing prior experience. Through guided instruction, repetition, and play, students will develop foundational skills such as hand coordination, rhythm, listening, and musical confidence.

Classes emphasize:

• Basic guitar handling and care

• Learning and practicing a few essential chords

• Playing together as a group

• Building confidence, focus, and creativity through music

The program is co-taught in a fun, encouraging setting that supports different learning styles and abilities. Students are encouraged to participate at their own pace while discovering the excitement of making music together.

Acoustic guitar rental fee included in class fee.
