Guitar Lesson - 45 Minutes

Filter


Beginner

School of Rock is a journey, not a destination ! That journey for a new guitar player begins in our Rock 101 program, where students get the full benefits of our unique performance-based instruction.

The Rock 101 program includes a 45-minute individual lesson with one of our awesome teachers and a 90-minute group rehearsal. Our Rock 101 directors specialize in working with younger students and typically play along with the kids. Our curriculum is the most classic of classic rock!

  • Beginner guitar students start off by learning the basic chord shapes and simple strumming patterns contained in their Rock 101 songs.
  • Our guitar instructors use THE SONG AS A LESSON, introducing the student to concepts like chord progressions, time signatures, and scales for the first time.
  • Once our guitar students have mastered the basic aspects of a song, our instructors will begin working on more advanced concepts: finger exercises, picking techniques and basic scales for KILLER RIFFS AND EPIC SOLOS!
  • Guitar students in Rock 101 must learn a critical skill: how to tune their guitar! Our group rehearsals are a great lesson for demonstrating the importance of tuning.
  • After a few weeks in Rock 101, most students are ready for the challenge of our Performance Program and are encouraged to take part in a show!
