Campfire Guitar for Youth

Don't just sit around the fire — entertain around the fire!

Weekly group classes will offer youth an introduction to the celebrated art of campfire guitar playing and accompanying. No previous experience necessary!

Play and sing fun, varied songs appropriate to your age as a group. You will be given basic instruction for various ways to approach accompaniment. The songs will be kept simple to afford greater, relaxed expression and more material. Nearing the end of the course, each student will be given the opportunity to choose a song and present it to the class.

The techniques explored will include:
• open position chords
• bass lines
• singing and playing
• simple melodies
• basic lead technique
• percussive accompaniment

No experience is necessary, however basic guitar technique will be helpful. Students please bring your own  instrument and a capo.
