Project title: Development on guitar basics and how to play a song on the guitar.

Project description:

I will teach basic notes of the guitar, its chords, and tabs then teach how to put them together creating a song.

Project context:

This learning program will be built for mostly students attending BYU-H, but is open to anyone who has a desire to learn basic guitar chords, and/or how to play a song.

Project rationale:

BYU-H doesn’t offer a guitar class, so students here who don’t already know how to play the guitar have to learn on their own. It will be helpful for them to have a little beginning help to get them started. I know I needed it when I tried to teach myself how to play.

Instructional objectives:

1) The students will be able to tune the guitar before beginning to play so that they can play a well tuned song.

2) The students will know basic guitar chords so they can know how to make tunes.

3) The students will be able to play a tune on the guitar by putting the notes together that they learned to create a song.

Instructional method:

I will teach this by using video clips showing someone playing the guitar and teaching each note. I will also be using pictures, especially of guitar notes to show the students what they look like on paper and then explain how to read them. I will teach guitar basics using music, audio, as well as pictures and video.

Assessment:

I will create an online quiz or questionnaire for the visitors of my website to fill out about how well they learned from my website.
