Course programme

This course introduces the instrument and how to play folk and pop songs. Each week a particular area of guitar technique will be explored through specifically chosen songs and exercises.

During the course, emphasis will be on playing and listening together with some work in pairs or small groups. You will mainly be taught through large group work, following your tutor's demonstration, with the opportunity for some individual attention. Practice between classes is essential to your progress.
