I've partnered with the Glendale Branch Library for this free guitar class.

Ready to pick up a guitar, dust off an old one, or just explore the joy of music in a supportive, fun community? This beginner-friendly class is your perfect introduction to finding your rhythm and connecting with fellow Wanderers who are building their chosen family.

I’ll be leading the class myself, and I love helping people discover the joy of 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. Experienced guitarists are also welcome to join, help out, and bring some creative energy to our jam at the end!

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.

**Upcoming Songs – Our Journey So Far**
Every month, we learn a new song together—each one chosen to be beginner-friendly and meaningful. Here’s what’s coming up:

* **January** – “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam
* **February** – “Stand by Me" by Ben E King
* **March** – "Needs" by Collective Soul
* **April** – “Zombie” by The Cranberries
* **May** – “Numb” by Linkin Park
* **June** – “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran
* **July** – “What's Up” by 4 Non Blondes
* **August** – "On My Mind" by Alex Warren, Rose
* **September** – TBD
* **October** – "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
* **November** – “When You Say Nothing At All” by Allison Kraus
* **December** – “Run Rudolph Run” by Kelly Clarkson

If you stick with us throughout the entire year you'll know how to play 12 new songs, have all the skills necessary to become an Apprentice level guitarist, and you'll have made some amazing musical friends along the way. We’ll cycle back to the beginning in January for anyone just joining the adventure.

If you're looking for personalized guidance to master the guitar, sign up for a free 30-minute introductory lesson with me! It's the perfect way to get tailored feedback and discuss your musical goals.
