Not only is the guitar a very prominent and revered instrument of Western pop culture, it is also an extremely “multi-cultural” instrument, as the guitar family has been part of the music of most cultures around the globe. Through learning this instrument students also explore the truly multi-cultural yet inter-connected nature of our world. As with all MUSICSTAR classes, students explore basic concepts of music theory and learn to read music notation. These concepts are applied to the instruments as students learn various guitar techniques, such as strumming and picking, and learn to play chords and solo melodies. In many of our classes students perform music as part of guitar ensembles to explore the skill and joy of playing together as a group, very much like band programs do. We offer both acoustic and electric guitar programs. Typically, electric guitar classes are offered to students who have already received beginning acoustic guitar instruction.
