Guitar Club I - Beginners: April 11 - June 6
Thursdays 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Our Guitar Club welcomes anyone age 7 and up to join us in guitar study and music reading. Guitar I and II groups will stay joined for the spring quarter, and more advanced students will have the chance to do some instruction with those who have less experience. As always, we will focus on basic technique and music reading, with introductions to the playing of blues, rock, pop, and country (or whatever ability and time allow). Thanks go, as they always do, to those who have donated guitars and equipment to our program, especially Arnie Hilesky, the patron saint of Guitar Club.
*In June and July, Guitar Club participants will have the opportunity to take a private lesson with Mr. Joe as part of the Summer Reading program.
Guitar Club II - Experienced: April 12 - June 28
Fridays at 3:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.
Although Jam Club is listed as a teen program, any guitar player aged twelve and up is welcome to attend this program for intermediate and advanced guitar. We will talk theory (at least as it applies to the guitar), technique, and style, and put what we can into practice with some jam sessions. Come develop your rhythm and improvisation techniques, and get comfortable playing with other musicians.
New members are welcome to any group!
