Students will be learning guitar technique and chords this rotation. We will begin with classroom expectations and assigned seating. They'll learn how to transport and hold a guitar appropriately, how to hold a pick and strum, and a few basic "one-finger" chords.

 

If a student has their own guitar from home, I encourage them to bring it to school.

 

The first song they're learning is Oh My Darlin' - working on switching between two chords (G and D7) while keeping a steady beat.

 

The second song they'll learn is Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. A new chord and strumming pattern is introduced in this song. They will still play G and D7 while adding the C chord.
