This week, students are learning "Oh, My Darlin"

 

They are learning the G and D7 chords and strumming patterns for this song.

 

Once they master the two chords, the strumming pattern, and playing all of them in the correct tempo, they will add singing and then perform for their classmates. After performing, the "audience" will give feedback (tempo, balance, correct chords, correct strumming) and the group will perform again, trying to fix anything that needed it.

 

Guitar is the main instrument they're learning and being graded on (chords and strumming), but they will get to choose the other parts as they master the guitar.
