Welcome to my journey with the guitar! I chose this goal because it gives me the basic ability to read chords and play basic songs. That would help teach students music as I could play them songs and have them sing along. It would also be beneficial in the classroom as I could use music as a teaching aide.

My rough goal plan is:

Oct 22

  • I will have learnt the basic chords.
  • I will have a basic understanding of the workings and parts of a guitar.
  • I will have 2-3 blogs posted documenting my progress.

November 22

  • I will have committed to a song and started it.
  • I will have learnt a strumming pattern.

December 7

  • I will have made progress on my song of choice, enough that it is recognizable.
  • I will have an adequate enough understanding of chords to transfer that knowledge to another song.

In the next posts, I will document my journey through reflections and videos, I hope you follow along and enjoy!
