We have found that that the ukulele is a fantastic foundation for children wanting to progress to the guitar.
Gemma is offering taster lessons for children ( aged 7 upwards) and adults that might be interested in trying out the guitar before committing to regular lessons.
Small scale electric guitars or 3/4 sized acoustic guitars are provided in the lesson and we've found that this is the ideal size to start on (both for children and adults!). We also use a small amplifier in the lesson and the student can switch from a clean sound to distortion at their leisure via a distortion pedal.
During the lessons they will learn all the basics of playing guitar, including simple rock riffs and open chords, simple strumming techniques, how to read simple guitar tab and chord charts. By the end of the sessions they can decide whether it's something they'd like to continue with and we can explore online lessons or look into how they can progress with another tutor either at school or privately.
No musical experience is necessary, and please note that these are informal lessons to just get you started. You will not be taught any music theory in depth or how to read stave notation etc. The aim is to inspire, encourage and just get you strumming a recognisable song as soon as possible.
COST
Cost for a one-to-one 30 minute lesson is £15 or £10 per person for two people sharing a lesson.
LOCATION
Lessons are taught upstairs at Gemma's house in central Wymondham and are 30 minutes long. Please note Gemma has a small, friendly (but barky) dog at her house.
PARKING
Nearest parking facilities are at Central Hall (free for the first hour but you do need to register your vehicle) next to Wymondham Football Club.
