This course is designed for beginning level students or for those students wishing to play the guitar as a secondary instrument. The student will be introduced to basic music notation, music form, the notes on the fretboard, position playing, formation of scales and chords, and the role of music as an applied art form. Creativity and improvisation will also be discussed using popular and classical themes as examples. The course can be used to augment other music studies, e.g., theory, harmony, as it is capable of producing melody and harmony simultaneously. Students must have their own guitars.
