Group Singing Classes
Report
In this all-ages group setting, you will learn about proper vocal technique and voice health through the use of various warmups. While the class will focus on solo singing in different styles, we will also explore harmonies and choral singing. We will also address microphone technique and how to use the microphone to stylize your singing. Each student will choose a piece to work on that will be presented in class at the end of each month.
Group Guitar Classes
Report
In this all-ages group setting, you will learn the basic fundamentals of playing the guitar. We will cover Chords, Strumming, and how to play simple songs in a group environment.

This is a fun course and will allow you to discover if you love playing the guitar at a reasonable cost before investing in private instruction.

All you will need is an Acoustical Guitar, a spare set of strings and a folder for your class hand-outs.

We will teach you how to tune the guitar and provide song charts and any additional documents covered in class.

My son has taken guitar with Grand Staff Music for 7 years. It is a wonderful school with caring and fun instructors. My daughter has also taken both violin and ukulele lessons there that were great. Lots of options! I always recommend them when asked.

Since starting at GMS, my daughter's guitar playing has improved tremendously, and she's developed a love for playing that she didn't get from other schools. I highly recommend Grand Staff, and a big thank you to Brian Emmel for teaching my kid to rock!
