Acoustic Guitar

with Zac Hooper

The acoustic guitar lends itself to a variety of styles of music. In these courses, song material drawn from rock, blues and world music will provide the means of learning to play the guitar. The beginners courses are for complete beginners and in them you will learn a vocabulary of chords and a simple playing technique. Guitar tablature will also be introduced as a shorthand form of musical notation.

The Level 2 courses are for those who have completed a beginners course or have
an equivalent experience of the guitar. If in doubt as to which course to join please ask when booking.

Zac has been playing guitar for 20 years and comes from a family of musicians.He has a degree in jazz guitar, and is an experienced teacher.
