Presented by Steve Giddings

Time: Tuesday July 13, 14:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

Whether you’re new to teaching group guitar, or have experience teaching guitar in school, there is something for everybody. Bring a guitar and play along as we explore the unique educational properties of the guitar, how to keep the learning authentic to the instrument, and ways to approach it in a classroom with only a few guitars. This session will give attendees practical skills for authentically delivering guitar skills to learners and be introduced to informal learning practices, as well as tab, easy shapes, and and ways guitar teaching can look in your school, whatever your situation.

In this session, Steve will:

1. Give attendees the skills to successfully coach a guitar class.

2. Give attendees an introduction to the idea of authentic learning and informal learning approaches

3. Give actionable, practical advice for how to implement guitar into their classroom.
