How do the group lessons work?
Group lessons mainly focus on learning songs at a suitable level for each group. Some warm-up exercises, technical skills and music theory are also included. Lessons can be recorded so you can catch up later if you can’t attend in person.
Can I have private lessons instead of group lessons?
Yes! We offer 30, 45 or 60 minute private lessons in addition to the group lessons.
Private lessons are great for absolute beginners to get started, for people who can’t make the group lesson times, want to work on specific songs, or prefer to learn privately, or for people who want additional support with songs or skills taught in group lessons.
You can book in for one lesson, or a series of lessons at a frequency that suits you.
What style of guitar playing do you teach?
Typical Girls Guitar Group teaches acoustic guitar playing for accompanying your own or others’ singing.
We focus on chords, strumming or fingerpicking patterns, and as students are ready, add bass runs, hammer-ons, riffs, and solos.
What musical genres do you cover?
We choose folk, country, rock and pop songs. We also encourage students to suggest songs that they would like to learn.
I’m trans – can I attend?
Yes. Typical Girls Guitar Group welcomes all gender diverse folk, including trans women, trans men and non binary folk, who are drawn to learning guitar in a female-centred environment that emphasises community and respect.
Do I need my own guitar?
Yes.
Typical Girls Guitar Group can provide you with a guitar to get started if you don’t have one yet, and want to try out the classes before purchasing your own.
What sort of guitar do I need?
Typical Girls Guitar Group teaches acoustic guitar playing.
Students learn on either steel string acoustic guitars, or nylon string classical guitars. SheShreds has some helpful information about selecting your guitar in this Absolute Beginners Guide to Playing Acoustic Guitar
What if I can’t afford the fees?
Typical Girls Guitar Group has a range of fee levels to allow for different circumstances, and offers free places for those experiencing financial hardship. We never want financial circumstances to be a barrier to learning to play guitar with us.
