What are local classes? Now, you can learn to play worship guitar using the 8 Chords curriculum one-on-one with me in a small class setting. In my small group classes, I take my students through the same program that hundreds of students are using to learn online and through my book program. Each class is tailored to the age group and skill level of the students in the class. The pace is set at a moderate rate and each class is about 8 weeks. I encourage students to start at the beginning but I know that there are some students who may benefit from starting in a higher level class. To start in a higher level class, a student must “test up” by completing the quizzes and tests for the previous classes. My core program consists of Book 1-2-3 and the original songbook. It is intended to be completed within one year. After completing my program, students should be able to play many of the top worship songs as well as have learned many other skills and gained a firm knowledge of music theory that will be the foundation for future learning.

		Class List:

		Quarter 1 - Getting Started - Text: 8 Chords 100 Songs Book 1 Begin by learning important charts for reading guitar music along with the proper ways to hold the guitar, the pick and important finger and strumming exercises to help you develop the skills you need to become a great player. You will learn your first 4 chords and be able to play over 30 songs with those simple chords. This is the kick start that every student needs to begin playing the guitar. Many times, you can take private lessons for over a year and never be able to play a full song! In my class, you will be playing multiple songs in your first 8 weeks.
		Quarter 2 - Going Further and Technique - Text: 8 Chords 100 Songs Book 2 Continue to build on your foundation as you learn great sixteenth note strumming patterns to add to the songs you know as well as learn 4 more chords including the dreaded Bm chord! I make it easy for my students with the new popular voicing of the Bm chord used by pro guitar players all over. It proves that you do not have to play a barre chord to play a great sounding Bm and F#m chord. Also begin to develop your picking and finger picking patterns to use on worship songs. By the end of class 2, students will know enough chords and patterns to play all 100 worship songs in the 8 chords complete songbook.
		Quarter 3 - The Worship Song Shop - Text: The Original 8 Chords 100 Songs Songbook This is where the rubber meets the road for many beginners. With their new knowledge of simple chord and patterns, we begin the worship song shop to learn and play some of the top worship songs of our culture. I continue to help the student grow by using popular songs and widely used techniques and chords to help broaden their skill level. You will begin to learn hooks and lead lines along with the top songs and begin to really play them like the original band. This class is important for beginners at this stage because it boosts their confidence and helps them begin to really build their repertoire as a guitar player. This is a fun class focused on learning songs and developing what was learned in Class 1 and 2. This class usually ends with a recital or performance experience for the students that are interested.
		Quarter 4 - Foundations and Theory - Text: 8 Chords 100 Songs Book 3 This class is called "foundations" because we will cover in depth music theory for the guitar player that is truly the foundation for their musical future. The concepts that students learn and begin to retain in this class help them put together the musical puzzle. It is one thing to be able to play a song... it is a whole different thing to be able to understand how it is written, why it sounds the way it does and how it is made up to be a song. Students take the knowledge they have learned and the skills they have acquired in previous classes and step them up to the next level in this very important class. Students also develop skills like playing and singing at the same time, playing solos and scales over progressions, writing simple songs and leading a worship band or small group worship set. New chords, techniques and floods of knowledge come together in this final class. It thrusts the beginning guitarist into the realm of the advanced musician.
