Acoustic Guitar
A member of the lute family, the guitar is a fretted musical instrument generally with six steel/nylon strings. Classified as a chordophone which are a class of musical instruments that produce sounds with stretched vibrating strings, a guitar is typically played with both hands by strumming/plucking with either a pick/plectrum or fingers on one hand while simultaneously fretting or pressing the strings against the frets with the fingers of the other hand. An acoustic steel string guitar has a long fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard and a flat back with curved sides. At Trinity Music Academy, we teach our students to play the guitar through a systematic step-by-step syllabus designed by the Academy.
We maintain a warm, cordial, conducive, pleasing and exciting learning environment so that our students have a wonderful, rich, progressive, constructive and memorable experience of learning to make music.
Through periodic internal assessment and tests we train our students to prepare different scales, arpeggios, broken chords, sight-reading, improvising and aural tests. We also impart a broad knowledge of Western music, music composers and their works, structure, style and period. Subsequently the students are prepared for the world renowned and globally accredited Certificate Grade examinations conducted by Trinity College, London, UK. These examinations are available from Entry (Initial) grade up to Grade 8 for practical (Classical & Jazz/ Rock and Pop) as well as Music Theory. .
