About the course

MUS 185 HF1 Grew out of an online guitar course that has run since 2016. Originally built by combining decades of private instruction experience with the academic standards of the SUNY system, it bears the distinction of being the first online musical instrument course across the entire SUNY system. Guitarists of various playing levels from across the state have used this course as a way to begin guitar, revisit fundamentals, improve their OWN teaching methods, or even as just a fun way to become comfortable with technology in learning.

Over the semester, our journey will use examples from a wide variety of musical styles to cover the foundations all guitarists should be comfortable with- chords, rhythm, scales, popular progressions, pick technique, and fingerstyle technique. On top of that, the course is designed to help EVERYONE become more comfortable with the online learning environment.

If you have ANY questions, feel free to contact the course designer/ instructor at beckerrk@sunybroome.edu.
