Beginner Guitar for Singers Camp
Students in this camp will learn the basics of beginning guitar, focusing on chords and rhythm, with kid-specific approaches to chords so they can be successful even with smaller hands. Campers will learn beginning transposing, and how to use a capo.
Kids will be playing songs by the end of the first camp day.
This camp will provide an easy way of getting around the guitar so when you want to practice your vocals and need some organic backup you'll be ready to go, and a stepping stone to learning more guitar in the future!
Materials needed: an acoustic or electric guitar in tune, a capo, and a pen and notebook to take notes. All other materials will be provided.
