Find Your Rhythm: Guitar for Healing & New Beginnings

📍 Glendale Branch Public Library
Meet in Meeting Room A (front desk → left → short hallway → glass doors)

This is a beginner-friendly guitar group for adults who want to learn in a relaxed, encouraging environment. You can show up with zero experience—we’ll start with basic chords, simple strumming, and work toward your first songs together.

I’ll be leading the class myself. This group isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about learning at your own pace, supporting each other, and building real connection through music. Each session adds a little skill, but more importantly, it's about learning together.

Bring an acoustic guitar (or an electric with a small amp) and an open mind. We’ll always wrap up with a casual group jam where everyone can join in—no matter where you’re at.

### 🎶 Our Monthly Song Journey

Each month, we learn one new song together. You’re welcome to jump in at any point. I also create simple song maps for each tune that break the song into sections and chords so you can practice at home or just follow along during class. Each song will link to a printable map you can bring to the meetup if you’d like.

Here’s our journey so far and what’s coming up:

• January – “Last Kiss” – Pearl Jam
• February – “Stand by Me” – Ben E. King
• March – “Needs” – Collective Soul
• April – “Zombie” – The Cranberries
• May – “The Middle” – Jimmy Eat World
• June – “What’s Up” – 4 Non Blondes
• July – “Perfect” – Ed Sheeran
• August – “Numb" - Linkin Park
• September – “When I Come Around" - Green Day
• October – “Our Song” – Taylor Swift
• November – “What I Like About You” – The Romantics
• December – “Run Rudolph Run” – Kelly Clarkson

If you miss a month or jump in late, it’s totally okay—this is a living journey, not a locked curriculum.
