What Is a Guitar Strum and Sing Course?
A Guitar Strum and Sing Course combines guitar playing and pop singing in one structured programme.
Students first develop guitar and vocal skills separately before gradually combining chords, strumming, lyrics, breathing, pitch and timing.
Guitar lessons cover chords, chord changes, rhythm, strumming and song accompaniment. Vocal training focuses on pitch, breathing, vocal technique, phrasing and song expression.
The goal is simple: to help you confidently accompany your own singing on guitar.

學生怎麼說
I always wanted to play guitar and sing at the same time, but I would either lose the rhythm or forget the lyrics. Junior helped me practise both skills separately first, then slowly combine them. I can now play and sing a full Mandopop song without stopping.
I already knew a few chords before joining, but singing along felt impossible. Benny broke it down step by step and helped me understand breath control and rhythm. The lessons were fun, and I finally feel confident performing at family gatherings.
