The Absolute Beginner Guitar Takeoff is a week-long workshop designed to help young musicians start making real music right away. Through short, engaging one-hour sessions, students will build confidence, learn foundational skills, and begin playing simple melodies from day one.
By the end of the week, students will:
Play TWO simple melodies
Learn excerpts from Forrest Frank’s Your Way's Better and a classic hymn
