Find Your Rhythm: Guitar for Healing & New Beginnings

📍 Glendale Branch Public Library
~ Meet in Meeting Room A (Go to the front desk, turn left, and head down the short hallway to the glass doors).

This beginner-friendly class is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and others through the power of music. If you’ve been feeling the pull to try something different, or just want to light a creative fire for new beginnings after life's changes, this could be the spark you're looking for.

I’ll be leading the class myself, and I love helping people discover joy through music, especially those picking it up for the first time. This group is all about learning at your own pace, with zero pressure and plenty of encouragement. Each session builds a little more skill, but more importantly, it builds genuine connection. You’ll leave not just playing your first full song, but also with a few new friends to share the journey with.

Bring your acoustic guitar (or an electric with a small amp) and an open mind. We’ll end with a casual jam session where everyone can join in.

All skill levels welcome!
