GUITAR FOR TEACHERS
This course is designed for Primary/Nursery/Play-School Teachers/Teaching Assistants or anyone else who would like to quickly master a simple guitar accompaniment technique and the ability to strum along to a dozen or so popular children's songs.
The intention is for learners to spend a day with a tutor, in a classroom setting, where the basic skills will be taught. Comprehensive support material - in handout form - will be issued to all those attending the course which will proceed at a slow user-friendly pace in a 'fun' environment.
Learners will continue to to develop their techniques/style using this site as an interactive point of reference.
As the skin on their fingers hardens up and their speed, changing chords, increases learners will (with 15 minutes practice 5 times per week) become proficient over the following three to six weeks.
Learners will need:-
An acoustic guitar - 6 strings either steel or nylon. If you need to buy one - I would suggest - for beginners - Steel Strung< Nylon Strung< (Click for examples)
Nice to have - but not essential:-
Electronic Tuner (Click to see example)
Plectrums (Click to see example) (I can supply these)
A Capo (Click to see examples)
Definitely essential:-
A sense of humour, a desire to sing and play.
A commitment to practice for 15 minutes at least 5 times a week for three to six weeks.
