Guitar | Marcy Marxer | Intermediate | Period 3 | Week 3 (July 21-26, 2024)
Make your guitar sing while we play beautiful melodies from Traditional songs and waltzes. We’ll start with gentle warmups, build a basic map for each tune, play by ear and focus on beautiful tone. The class will use printed materials as backup for the tunes and taking notes. Bring a recording device and a pencil to class.
