St John Lutheran Church and School      Where Faith and Education Meet 

Classroom guitar is offered as an elective for Middle School students. Guitar students have a group lesson once a week on acoustic guitar instructed by Mrs. Jacquie Rognli. Student families are responsible for providing an acoustic guitar – classical nylon string preferred – and purchasing their lesson book. The cost of guitar class is $50 per trimester.

The guitar is often considered to be the world's most popular instrument. It is extremely versatile, able to play a wide variety of musical styles. It also doesn't take long until you start sounding pretty good. Of course, as with any instrument, it takes a long time to become a brilliant guitarist, but you can still gain an enormous amount of satisfaction from mastering easier techniques along the way.
