Guitar 1 (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Music & Performance -
Adult Enrichment Fall 2025

Learn a variety of basics: chords, strumming skills, finger-picking, and some simple tunes. You’ll also learn how to read the notation systems and diagrams to get you playing independently. Bring your own nylon or steel string guitar (no electric guitars). No prior music knowledge is necessary. 

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available or we are able to add additional sections.
