Programme Synopsis NEW!

Note: Guitars (if required) will be delivered to schools and further Music / Score guides will be provided for teachers. AN EDUCATION IN LISTENING, CREATING AND PERFORMING. Guitarhympia Music presents its flagship strum-n-sing program for students of all ages. The guitar is the most flexible and versatile instrument in the genre of Contemporary Popular Music. Youth all over the globe can quickly and effectively learn chords to their favourite songs if they are given appropriate pedagogically-proven tools in the early part of their study. Our group playing during class is always assisted by the drum-machine of an electronic keyboard and with backing tracks created especially for the students learning in mind. This immediately focuses the student on the need to keep good time when performing in a group / ensemble. The repertoire will consists of local and contemporary pop songs that students like to listen and sing to. Weekly reflection with the use of collaborative tools like Mentimeter will be employed to engage the students. The programme will consist of: • Learning The Guitar’s Anatomy • Learning good posture on the classical guitar - Left and Right hand technique • Learning ‘GUITAR DANCE’, an instrumental especially designed for beginner chord students. Students will play the chord progression G Em C D7 and jam to a minus-one track created in GarageBand • Learning the 4 rhythmic patterns in ‘GUITAR DANCE’ - universal strumming patterns that can be used in most pop songs • Learning to sing and play several pop songs which are popular among students. New chords will be introduced along the way • Learning to read guitar tablature - most students are exposed to this method of learning online and need some tutelage in this matter • Reading and playing a C major scale - Learning to read basic music notation for the classical guitar • Assessment in groups while singing and playing 1 song / G-Em-C-D7 chord progression * GarageBand on Ipads Schools which would like to include Electronic Music via GarageBand/ Logic Pro / Pro Tools with Guitar/Ukulele Playing can advise this vendor for such customisations.
