What students learn and why they love it
Students learn to perform with accurate rhythm and pitch while developing correct guitar technique. As the first assignment (#1) in a beginner guitar curriculum, they practice their first notes on guitar (E, F, and G on the high E string). Students love this approach because the "Kind" auto-assessment setting provides a low-pressure environment, fostering independent learning on guitar while they work solo or in pairs.

I’m going on 10+ years teaching elementary music K-5 in Austin, TX. I’m a saxophone and guitar player, so I’m treated like a rock star, at least by my kindergarteners. I love sharing music and cultures with my students.
