Loog Two

About Loog Two

Did your child breeze through Loog Zero hungry to learn more songs, harder songs, and start reading music notation on the staff? If so, Loog Two is for them.

Alternatively, if your child has not taken Loog Zero, are they comfortable playing a variety of songs on their Loog guitar? Do they know the notes in first position and basic chords? Would you like them to learn to read music and jumpstart their musical education? If so, they’re welcome in Loog Two!

In Loog Two we’ll learn to read notes on the staff and build a diverse repertoire of Loog guitar songs. We’ll build on the rhythmic concepts from Loog Zero and learn about rests and playing in 3/4 time (three beats per measure). Most importantly, we’ll learn plenty of new songs for their repertoire, reading music the whole time.


What's Needed

Materials

3-String Loog guitar
Strap (if you don’t have an actual guitar strap, a comfortable string attached to the strap pegs will work)
Pick
Tuner or tuning app

Playing Experience

Students should have completed Loog Zero and be very comfortable with the ideas presented there. Alternatively, students who have not completed Loog Zero must: (1) know how to tune and hold the guitar (2) know the notes in first position (3G, A, B, C, D, E, F, 1G) (3) know the chords Em, G, G7, C and (4) recognize whole notes, half notes, and quarter notes and understand their rhythmic value.

All students beginning Loog Two should have the six notes in first position memorized (3G, A, B, C, D, E, F, 1G) and be able to easily get a clean sound. Likewise for the four chords Em, G, G7, C. Students also need to be able to play in rhythm using whole notes, half notes, and quarter notes.


Class Structure

Each class will last thirty minutes. Students are encouraged to send the instructor videos of class songs between sessions to get feedback on their playing.

Class: Exploring Flamenco: Compás of Fandangos de Huelva and Tarantos

This was a fantastic lesson today! Leah's pace was just right for my playing ability--she want slowly enough so that I could keep up and yet not too slowly, thus keeping things challenging. I like the way she always demonstrates how to play things in a basic way and then shows us a "fancier" more musically interesting way to play it. Very much looking forward to next class!

Class: Spanish Fingerstyle Guitar with Leah Kruszewski

Leah is very attentive. She gives you multiple chances to understand what she`s talking about. She gives examples at the beginning of the class, explains how to do what she is teaching, takes questions, excepts different interpretations and points of view, and gives students a chance to play. She also gives examples at the end, first playing slowly, and then faster, so that we really get to hear the piece and appreciate its potential. Thanks Leah!
