The free Saturday class builds from instrument fundamentals toward complete songs for a quarter-end recital. Students ages 9 through adult are expected to attend regularly across the three-month program.

Dallas Public Library’s Guitar Class pairs fundamentals with music reading and theory, using games and interactive exercises along the way. It is a multi-month course rather than a one-time introduction: the stated goal is for students to learn complete songs they can perform at a quarter-end recital.
Each class lasts 45 minutes and covers instrument basics, technique, reading music and theory. Games and interactive exercises are part of the announced approach, so the curriculum combines foundational skills with activities rather than focusing only on instruction in music notation.
The course is for ages 9 through adult, and the library expects regular attendance throughout its three-month run. That commitment matters for anyone considering a single visit: the stated endpoint is learning complete songs for a recital at the end of the quarter, not simply trying a guitar once.

Instruments are provided for use during class, and the library says some may be checked out. It does not identify which instruments are eligible, so prospective students should not assume that a guitar will be available to take home for practice. Guitar is the focus of this listing; keyboard and violin are also named among the instruments offered in the broader program.
The listing describes a recital as the course’s culminating performance, but does not give its date or say who may attend. The overall program runs October 6 through December 19, 2026; the Central Library listing shows Saturday class occurrences through December 12, not a December 19 guitar session.

Dallas Public Library names J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, Hampton-Illinois Branch Library and Vickery Park Branch Library as locations for the program. The December 5 class covered here is at Central Library; the listing does not provide schedules for the other two branches, so their locations should not be treated as alternate sites for this particular session.
