Taught by Tom Malouf, the former music director at St. Walter Church, leader of the well-known local band, “Chunky Monkey,” and current solo artist featuring his popular show “Stuck in the 60’s For Life,” this course will be highly engaging, fun, and will include a step-by-step introduction to the guitar.

“How to Play Guitar” takes place Wednesdays from 6:30-7:15pm on the following dates: 8/31, 9/7, (no class 9/14), 9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/12, 10/19. Students will be invited to participate in our Fall Outdoor Recital on Saturday, October 22nd, 2022.
