OUTSIDE NOTICES & EVENTS
The Bermuda School of Music is pleased to be able to offer a beginning group guitar class this term. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the basic techniques, rhythm, how to read music, and other essentials for every beginning musician. Students will need their own instrument, but all other materials will be provided. It is our hope that by the end of this course, we will have sparked a passion for music in the students, and they are encouraged to continue to develop their skills through private instruction.
If you have been unsure about beginning music lessons, this is a great chance to "test the waters" at a greatly reduced cost. The 10 week course will be held Saturdays from 5:30-6:30 beginning October 8th, located at the Bermuda School of Music, in the old Berkeley School. The cost for this course is $180 (just 16.50/hour, and in Bermuda!!) Please contact Jerremiah Smith to enroll, or with any questions.
