5th Grade Guitars: A Recap

As the school year winds down, I want to share some photos of your 5th grade students in action with their beloved guitars! They've come a long way in such a short amount of time. We've learned to play several basic chords over the past couple of months, and right now we are presenting our final performances of a 3-chord song.

Students are choosing their own 3-chord song to play and will be assessed based on keeping a steady tempo, correct chord fingerings, and timely chord transitions.

My hope is that by mastering a few basic chords, students will be able to go out and find songs they love and want to play and will have the knowledge to get started on their own! I'm so happy that it's already happening- students are bringing in their favorite songs to play during recess or to play for the class. I am so proud of them!
