Learn guitar in a small class setting . . .

Starting Monday March 24th, I will be offering group guitar classes at the Community Art Center in Wallingford.   The class starts at 7pm and is for beginners – total beginners who have never even seen a guitar, much less played one. This class will teach students how to read standard notation and play simple melodies on the guitar.  There are two other versions of the beginner classes that I offer that focus on chords, so once you’ve taken this class, you can also enroll in those during the summer session.

The class will run for 6 weeks and the cost is $195.

Group Guitar Classes versus Private Guitar Lessons

Taking group guitar classes is a fun way to get introduced to the guitar, and there are some advantages.  One is that you’re forced to go every week – rescheduling is not allowed – so there’s greater incentive to consistently practice.  There’s more of a social aspect to it as well, which makes it kind of fun, and you get to watch other people and in some cases learn from them.

On the other hand, you don’t get the same level of attention that you do in a private lesson, so if there are specific things you’d like to work on, private lessons are better.  You get to pick the songs and the pace of instruction is geared toward your progress, whereas you might have to go slower or faster than you would like in a group class.
