Are you using music and songs in the classroom but wish you could play the guitar to enhance the experience? Music is a powerful learning tool. We know it can reduce stress levels that inhibit learning, create a clear passage to long-term memory, get students into an effective learning state, and create fun to enhance the joy of learning.

Imagine how powerful the effect of the music would be on students and on yourself if you could learn how to play a few basic chords and play the guitar “live” during your sing-a-longs! If this gets you excited, then this is the class for you to learn the basic skills with master guitar teacher, Bill Ebert.

Participants will know and be able to:

• Develop a basic understanding of reading and playing music on the guitar

• Identify parts of the guitar

• Explain the staff and how it works

• Explain chord rhythms

• Play a simple song
