With hearing difficulties learning an instrument can have implications. But with time and practice mastering chords can done. My student proves it.
Gav’s course has helped him immensely because learners sit round a table so eye contact is level. I’ve noticed that Simon has looked across to other learners whilst enjoying strumming his chords which shows he is developing his communication skills for bonding, communicating, and socialising, this is still quite new to him in this particular surrounding on the guitar course. Perhaps possibilities were otherwise limited in other situations outside of taught sessions. Basic social skills have been learned in other voluntary gatherings which Simon enjoys, such as Deaf Club.
In a familiar social setting that he is becoming more comfortable with, he has achieved chord construction, achieving a one finger variation of ‘C’ and ‘G’ chord, with this he will get better at remembering the three finger version of ‘D’.
He will now start to learn bass in 2016.
