Teaching Guitar Through Popular Music

This workshop is centered on the belief that all people are musical, demonstrated by leveraging the musical choices of the individual. Participants will learn to play guitar through popular music, focusing on reading through iconographic notation, utilizing improvisation, and demonstrating how all people are musical and can enjoy playing through familiar repertoire. Sample lesson plans will be discussed to show how to make the most out of basic musical elements and skills. Presented by The NAMM Foundation in collaboration with Music Will.
