One Day Academy

This beginner guitar course is designed for individuals with little to no prior musical experience. Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or looking to refine your basic skills, this course will provide you with a solid foundation in playing guitar and understanding music theory.

Over the course, students will learn essential techniques such as basic chord shapes, strumming patterns, tuning, and finger placement. We will introduce key musical concepts including rhythm, scales, and time signatures, empowering students to play simple songs and progress to more complex pieces with confidence.

By the end of this course, students will be able to play their favorite songs, understand basic music theory, and develop the skills necessary for continued guitar playing. The course is interactive, offering hands-on instruction, and is perfect for anyone looking to start their musical journey with the guitar!

At School of Rock Worship at One Day Academy the focus is to help students prepare their music and play songs in a band setting. This includes preparation at home, rehearsal with peers, willingness to be a team player in a musical group, listening to other instruments while playing, and of course performance.

One big difference from this class as opposed to traditional school of rock is a focus on Christ and Praise as reasons to practice and perform.

We will be learning worship songs in a mix of genres and focusing on different students skill sets to show the hard work and dedication it takes to be a team player in a band or worship team!

While we still learn the language of music and how it relates to your instrument(s), this class is about using the skills we have worked hard for to perform music as a team.
