Learning the Guitar

The 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Music classes have been practicing the chords to the songs More Precious Than Silver. The first line of the song says, Lord, You are more precious than silver. The last line of the song says, Nothing I desire compares with You. Prior to working with this song, the students had been giving a song to play one finger at a time, with three notes. The song was Joyful Joyful, also sung as a church hymn. In playing this song, one finger at a time, it taught the student how to get a clear sound, one string at a time. We always start off the classes by tuning the guitar and becoming acquainted with the correct pitch of the string as opposed to a sharp or flat sound.
