Description

Our Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven ‘purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning. This free, fun and friendly course helps you to take care of your mental health and wellbeing whilst also learning to play guitar. It's great for beginners or anyone picking up the guitar again after a break. You'll learn at your own pace, with easy weekly lessons and simple, mindful exercises. As you play, you'll feel more focused, less stressed, and more confident—both in everyday life and in music. There's no pressure and no need to be perfect. Just enjoy the music and feel better, one note at a time.
