Musicianship Curriculum
Go beyond the basics and learn the nuts and bolts of music.
A series of classes for players at our Guitar 2 Repertoire level or above who want to solidify their musical skills and take their playing to the next level. We suggest starting with Guitar Fingerboard Theory. Trust us, spend a year or more going through these classes and you'll come out a new player.
Guitar players try this:
Applying Fingerboard Theory or Building Chord Vocabulary
Lead Guitar Basics or Fingerpicking 1 or Rhythm Guitar
Music Theory for Songwriters or Electric Guitar Basics
The path you take is up to you but feel free to call or write our program manager Jimmy Tomasello at jtomasello@oldtownschool.org or call 773.751.3371.
