Classes for Adults

BEGINNING GROUP GUITAR
Thursday 8:00
A fun and low-pressure environment is the best way to get started on the guitar. Nick Wilby will help you jumpstart your playing while helping you avoid common pitfalls that “internet education” can lead to. Students will learn chords and strumming patterns to popular songs and basic guitar theory. You’ll be well-positioned to keep growing as a musician once the class is over.
FINGERPICKING PATTERNS FOR GUITAR
Wednesday 8:00
Calling all James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Bill Monroe fans! Have you mastered chords and are looking to take your guitar playing up a notch? Phillips Wisor will be covering folk and bluegrass style fingerpicking patterns. This is a great next step for intermediate players looking to expand their musicality.
BEGINNING GROUP UKULELE
Wednesday 8:00
Ukulele has risen in popularity over the last few years, and it’s easy to see why. This instrument is compact, bouncy and easy to play. But don’t let the initial simplicity fool you: this instrument can be taken to very exciting musical places. Ukulele teacher Lindy Campbell creates an extremely warm and positive environment in which to get started. You will learn chords and strumming patterns to popular songs. Come see what all the fuss is about!

Tuesday 7:30-8:15 Ages 13-16
Thursday 7:30-8:15 Ages 9-12 *ALL GIRLS ROCK BAND*
The coolest class on The Hill! Gigging musician Will Rzad takes students through every aspect of what it means to be in a rock band–from coming up with a band name, choosing your songs, and how to play “a gig”. This is a great way for students to supplement private lessons and gain ensemble experience while learning to play the latest hit single. All instruments are welcome, from guitars and drums to violin and clarinet! Beginners are welcome, but students with about one year of experience under their belt will get the most out of this class.

Music on the Hill’s preschool ukulele class is designed for young children who love music, but aren’t quite ready for private lessons. Lindy Campbell will help students learn how to properly handle the ukulele, play real chords, and learn songs ranging from classic children’s songs to Bob Marley and the Beatles. What’s more, your child will have their pick of colorful Kala ukes to play on. Students will also be introduced to other percussion instruments and begin learning the fundamentals of reading music in a fun way. Sessions are designed to establish a great foundation for your child on which to build their future musical experiences.
