- Very Beginner 'Strum and Sing' Guitar This is a TWO DAY, eight

you can absorb all the information, easier to get away for just two days
and by the time your fingers get sore, you'll be done the program. Learn
a few basic chords, sing and accompany yourself. Taught by Linda Campbell.
Program and songs are created for adults but younger beginners can benefit
greatly. OFFERED AUG. 2-3. You should have your own guitar
for this class but if you don't, we can provide one for you. Please let us
know by June 20th, if possible, if you would like us to supply a guitar.
- Guitar Fundamentals Not interested in any one particular style? Will
focus on basic theory, ear training, scales, chords, bass runs, picking tunes
and more. This class will help build a solid foundation from which you can
learn any style. For beginner to intermediate. ALL WEEKS
Please note that we do not offer a rock guitar class at camp. We do have
instructors that can offer individual lessons in this area if requested.
