Three Courses of Affordable Group Guitar Lessons

Friendly group instruction with a family atmosphere taught by
​Mark W. Batchelder since 2008.

Learn by playing songs.
Parents are encouraged to participate with or to assist their children.
Kids, Teens, Adults, and Seniors are all welcome!

"The amazing and wonderful aspect of these group guitar classes is that people of all ages, races, and backgrounds can participate together in harmony. I often have kids with a parent, teens, adults, and seniors - all in the same classes! All participating and working well together. I am a very patient teacher and I use a positive and joyful attitude when working with my students. I want each of them to understand the joy of performing music!"
- Mark W. Batchelder

We sometimes call this 12-bar blues "The ADAA-DDAA-EDAA Song" in our classes.

​Each course of Group Guitar Lessons will be scheduled to run one hour per week for 6 weeks (not including holidays or other days off).

In the event that one of these courses does not have sufficient participation, that course may be combined with another course and the class times for the courses are subject to change up to one hour. If a class is canceled due to a weather or health emergency, the class may be made up during the time of a later different class. CMC will not issue refunds if any CMC activity is missed or canceled due to adverse weather, health concerns, or other reasons.

Participants must provide their own guitar. Guitars may be either acoustic or electric with an amplifier. Bass guitars are also welcome. 

​
Cost for one course of 6 once-per-week one-hour sessions:
Same price for either Beginner, Next Step, or 3rd Stage Group Guitar Lessons:
          $55.00  CMC member price for one 6-week course
          $65.00  non-member price for one 6-week course

Special Discount for Families:
If one person pays full price (either the CMC member or non-member price), then a parent of that person, a child of that person, a spouse of that person, or another resident of that person's same household may register for the same course with a $15 discount. The discount may be taken from either the CMC member or non-member price!
No charge for a parent (or other mature family member) without a guitar to assist a child with a guitar.

Example: A CMC member registers for an 6-week course and pays the full CMC member price of $55. Then that person's sister, who lives in the same household, may register for the same course for $40 if she is also a CMC member or for $50 if she is not a member. 
 
Cost for a single one-hour session of the 3rd Stage Group Guitar Lessons (Drop In Jam):
           $14.00 CMC member price
​           $17.00 non-member price


All payments should be made payable to "Community Music Connection".​
