Beginner Guitar Worksheets - Performance Pieces & 12 Bar Blues - Middle School

Beginner Guitar Unit. Are you teaching a guitar unit to your middle school music students or general music classes? In this resource, I've combined the best resources I have used over the years with my guitar classes! I created these resources for my classes because students of this age don't want to be playing nursery rhymes.

WHAT TEACHERS HAVE SAID:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I was struggling to add variety to learning classical guitar for the students, and this resource really broke down how to use TAB, so students didn't need to "read music" (although they still are reading notation). I enjoyed playing along with the backing tracks linked to the TAB pages. It also links very nicely to the Grade 7 Ontario Curriculum with exploring 12 bar blues form!" (Thank you, Curtis)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was such an awesome resource during distance learning. I used it on Zoom and Pear Deck, and it allowed me to keep all my students on the same page with me. It also allowed me to give lessons to students who did not attend class or might need a little more practice." (Thank you, Elizabeth)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This was a great resource for me! I teach general music, and I incorporate the Little Kids Rock curriculum & guitar. This was a very helpful guide on what to cover with beginning guitar students. Thank you!" (Thank you, Easy Peasy Music Class)
