Learn an Instrument
There are several options for students to learn an instrument for the first time or possibly pick one back up after a long break. Lessons are offered in a group setting.
Class Piano I, II, III
Provides group instruction for beginning and intermediate piano. Focuses on the development of basic piano skills, note-reading, rhythm, scales, chords, and the introduction to related musical concepts. Contents and expected learning proficiencies of this course may vary from term to term. Not for music majors. No previous piano experience required.
Group Guitar: Beginning
Covers the basic construction of the guitar, principles of tuning, maintenance, and treatment of the instrument. Also covered are key signatures, scales, primary chords and their structures, as well as fingering methods, right hand picking styles and techniques specific to the guitar. Students will learn how to accompany solo and group singing, and learn skills needed to translate music and methods for solving problems common to guitar players. May be repeated up to four credits.
Group Guitar: Intermediate
Enables students to create more complicated common style arrangements to folk, blues, and popular song styles by adding melody notes and bass runs to open chords. Students will also learn accompanying styles to a much broader range of song types, the use of more sophisticated chords and voicings, and the use of barre chords affording the guitarist the ability to play in any key. May be repeated up to six credits.
