Everglades City School – Guitar 3 (PF)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students with previous experience strengthen their guitar skills and knowledge, adding a variety of chords; refining finger-picking and strumming patterns; reading notation in $1 ^ { \\mathsf { s t } }$ , 2nd, and $5 ^ { \\mathfrak { t h } }$ position; and learning stylistic nuances, left-hand technique, and alternative fingering. Guitarists readily use tablature and standard notation, study the work of significant musicians, and develop significant self-assessment skills. Graded public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom which lead to a grade. This course may also require students to obtain a musical instrument (e.g., borrow, rent, purchase) from an outside source. Suggested grading guidelines can be found in the Collier County Public Schools Secondary Grading Manual. This course will meet the graduation requirement for Performing Fine Arts graduation credit.
