Guitar Fundamentals

Fired Up Guitar Fundamentals 1-year Middle School or High School Program gives a foundational education in the specifics of guitar playing skills, and covers core music principals.
The course covers all seven major scale modes, and the seven diatonic triads, seventh chords and extensions built from those scale tones. By the end of the course students will be proficient in playing chord progressions and melodic passages in multiple keys, and have a full understanding of music theory, notation, and rhythmic figures.

Course Benefits
Nurturing
Creativity
The core-curriculum provides students with a complete education in music. We further inspire students to explore the millions of musical possibilities to write their own jams, progressions, melodies and songs.
Team
Building
Our ensemble jam sessions allow multiple students to play together as part of an ensemble. This builds communication skills in an engaging way.
Hand-Eye
Coordination
Neural impulses send the shape recognition to the left and right hand for rhythm and pitch co-ordination = Music.
Shape & Auditory
Recognition Skills
We train the ear to associate shapes with sounds, along with the moods that those shapes evoke, which accelerates the recognition of chords.
