Beginner classes will teach students basic plucking technique, including how to use a pick, as well as note reading in the Bass clef and accompaniment patterns for standard chords. Students will learn a variety of playing styles, including pop, rock, jazz, and blues, and lessons will incorporate both songs requested by the student and those the teacher feels will aid in instruction. Intermediate classes will focus on developing skills from previous lessons, and students will begin to choose one playing style or technique over the others. Students will also begin to learn improvisation.
