The kids were mostly all in tune when they arrived for class, but we still spent some time on the open strings, as my challenge for them this week was to make up a tuning song, so they could remember the proper tuning more readily without having to always consult the tuning app (or the shelter staff). We went over the previous week’s chords and added one more, and spent some extra time going over how to read the chord charts so that the kids can explore their books more throughout the week. My challenge to them this week was to practice switching between chords with two different strumming patterns, and I’m excited to see how they do!
