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

"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

The Ridglea Presbyterian Church is just west of the intersection of Southwest Boulevard (Texas 183) and W Vickery Boulevard in Fort Worth, Texas. The parking lot can be accessed near the intersection of Valhalla Road and Wycliff Street. Some GPS devices have trouble with the official address of the church, so entering the intersection of Valhalla and Wycliff may work better. Classes are held in one of the meeting rooms down the hall from the sanctuary.

Affordable CMC Group Guitar Lessons - Special - Pay for a one-hour class and attend the other two hours free that same evening! That's an average of LESS than $6 per hour!

​Each course of Group Guitar Lessons will be scheduled once per week for 6 weeks (not including holidays or other days off). Participants pay for one hour per class session, but are encouraged to participate for all three hours with no additional charge!

All courses are taught in a "one-room schoolhouse" style where everyone participates at their own level with the assistance of the instructor. 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 (but attend all three hours!):
One price for all Group Guitar Lessons (please bring exact change if paying in cash):
          $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 Drop In Jam session (but attend all three hours!) (please bring exact change if paying in cash):
