JUNIOR CLASSES 

For young students it is important to get the right start with music.  It has to be seen as an enjoyable and achievable goal to work towards each step of the way.  We encourage parents to expose the young players even if it is for a short block of lessons.  This way they can get a good understanding of the guitar before they embark on their musical journey.  

Some of the areas we focus on for the junior player : 

BASIC CHORD SHAPES 

STRUMMING BASIC RHYTHM PATTERNS 

ENTRY LEVEL MUSIC READING 

PARTS OF THE GUITAR 

FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES USED IN GUITAR - Strumming, Picking, Muting, Finger Picking, Playing single string melodies

PLAYING IN A GROUP

We take students through to examination level in both Classical & Electric Guitar using the Trinity Guildhall syllabi.
