Guitar Lessons

Guitar Lessons 

Class 2 were excited to have the opportunity to take part in a course of six class guitar lessons in the latter part of the Autumn term. James, the visiting guitar teacher, taught the children some simplified chords which they were able to use to accompany several well-known pop songs – as well as the old Christmas favourite, Jingle Bells! Some of the children managed to play the whole song, while others learned one chord and were challenged to play that chord at the appropriate times during the song. In one lesson, James also brought in his electric guitar and the children each had a chance to practise playing one of the riffs they had learned through the amplifier. The children enjoyed the lessons enormously and several children from the class have decided to carry on learning the guitar with James in private lessons in the Spring term.
