What You Will Learn
Did you know the majority of all songs you hear on the radio can be played with just four chords? By the end of this course, you will have learnt a number of basic chord shapes allowing you to play along with thousands of your favourite tunes. Alongside this you will learn famous riffs such as smoke on the water, back in black and chasing cars.
Enhanced Skills
Alongside the wellbeing benefits, the joy it brings and just the sheer fun of making music, learning to play an instrument like the guitar builds enhanced skills, and helps the brain forge new connections.
Play well-known tunes
When you have learnt just a few notes, you will be able to play a selection of tunes in different musical styles.
Learn to read musical notation
As you learn to play different tunes, you will also be introduced to musical notation. As you become more confident reading music, a whole world of musical opportunities will open up!
Make music with others
Making music is a fun and sociable activity. After just a few weeks you will be able to make music with others – in your lessons, with friends or at one of our Music Centres.
