Social Strum is for guitarists who want to practice their strumming and chord changing in a performance-like environment.
Looking to enhance your guitar skills while having a great time? Join us at IMA's Social Strum event, where you'll have the chance to play along with fellow beginner guitarists under the guidance of one of our talented mentors. Together, we'll strum through a selection of popular songs, in a relaxed atmosphere that is reminiscent of a real gig.
Practicing in a group setting not only makes learning enjoyable but also significantly boosts your progress on the guitar. The concept of entrainment—where individuals synchronize with each other—can enhance your timing and rhythm, making it easier to master those tricky chord changes.
Learning alongside others fosters a sense of community. You'll meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for music, providing opportunities for social interaction and networking. This supportive environment encourages you to share tips and learn from one another's experiences, which can be incredibly beneficial for your musical growth.
Playing in front of peers helps build confidence and reduces performance anxiety. As you strum along with the group, you'll develop the skills necessary to perform in front of an audience, making it a perfect stepping stone for future gigs or just for playing in front of friends at a gathering.
All you need is yourself and an acoustic guitar! We will provide song charts and chord lists to ensure everyone can participate and enjoy making music together.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to improve your guitar skills while having fun with others. Sign up for IMA's Social Strum event today, and let's create some unforgettable musical moments together!
