Specialized
Guitar Lessons
| I would like to introduce you to a
powerful guitar curriculum which is now on line, found at www.theguitarfoundation.comI
|
| I have taught hundreds of
homeschoolers over the last 15 years as a music educator. Many students
have had to drive hours to get to the studio. However I have just
made virtual guitar lessons available on line. The sessions are
fully animated - the students all receive an e-mail
with a professional set of notes for the session taken, plus an
assignment to work on. Should they have questions, I am easily
accessed at contact@theguitarfoundation.com |
| This course does not
take the traditional approach,
where they take possibly one chord and maybe a note in each lesson.
This curriculum is
accelerated in that all students learn 100 guitar chords in the
first 6 sessions. The presentations are highly
memorable and fun. They are playing in every key,
sharp or flat across the board within the first few lessons. Accuracy
is stressed, and speed will
come later, once accuracy is established. Specialized
finger exercises are
incorporated in each session, which build strength and independence into
each finger, thus making playing easier. They learn how to
create strumming patterns, and the basics of all finger picking
styles - Travis picking. I recommend the students
be at least 10 years old , as their fingers are not ready to handle it
before then.
