What to Expect

Start Playing Right Away: From the very first class, students will create, read, and perform music.

Hands-On Learning: Over the first few weeks, students will master the basics of classical guitar, including finger positions, string names, and hand coordination. They’ll also explore the musical alphabet and theory while learning to play solo and in an ensemble.

Practice at Home: Students should take their guitars home for extra practice. The more they practice, the better they’ll become!

Exciting Finale: Students will perform their favorite music in a Culminating Event, with additional performance opportunities available at CMCB.

This small group class focuses on preparing students for private lessons, elementary group classes, and ensembles. Each class is limited to 5 students to ensure individualized attention while fostering collaboration.

Materials: Students should have a personal or rental guitar at home for practice. CMCB offers guitars for rent if needed. For instrument rental questions, contact us Hannah Elizabeth at hetobias@cmcb.org.
