By the end of the course, veterans will have developed a solid foundation in guitar playing, gained insight into the art of songwriting, and experienced the joy of playing music collaboratively. They will have a deeper appreciation for the role of music in personal expression, empowerment, and building connections within their community.
This is a beginner course for veterans who want to learn how to jam on the guitar and express themselves through songwriting. Through this program, participants will learn fundamental guitar and vocal techniques, explore the art of songwriting, and experience the power of collaborative music-making.
This course is designed to focus on the “art of the jam,” so each week veterans will play along with popular songs and learn mindfulness practices to help facilitate the flow of their creative expression through music.
The course is led by experienced musicians and instructors, and is part of Life By Music’s initiative to make music education and instruments more readily available for self-empowerment and well-being.
