Roots

Are you new to this instrument? Roots level classes introduce instrument basics and key foundational skills. Students can expect to spend, on average, up to four terms in a Roots level class before moving on to the more intermediate Rockers level.

Guitar Rockers: Mastering Core Skills
Have you been playing the guitar for a bit and can play a few simple songs and chords? Do you know how to tune, how to read tablature, and can play in rhythm with other guitarists? Do you regularly use more than one finger on the neck of the guitar? This class will help you master the foundational skills you learned in Guitar Roots. We’ll smooth out the transitions while strumming chords, learn about the pentatonic and major scales, begin working on bar chords, read chord charts, learn position based riffs, and introduce the musical staff and standard notation.

Rockers

Have a little experience with and basic knowledge of an instrument? Rockers classes focus on building consistent use of foundational skills. Students can expect, on average, to spend several terms at the Rockers level, often a full year as they grow and develop their musical strength and confidence.

Enrollment in a Rockers class requires instructor recommendation. New students can request an assessment to determine the best level for their first class.
Rollers

Have you been playing for at least a year and have a solid foundation on your instrument? Rollers classes move beyond foundational skills and also focuses on skills necessary for playing in an ensemble or band. Length of time in a Rollers class varies from student to student depending on independent goals. Students who have mastered the Rollers benchmarks typically move into private lessons and/or rock bands.
