SCROLL DOWN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHY WE CHOOSE LOOG AT GROOVE!
We will explore how the Loog relates to the musical fluencies of rhythm, harmony, melody and songwriting. We will explore the role of the Loog among other band instruments like keyboard, drum kit and microphone. We will explore the expression of music on the Loog from volume, mood, tempo and pitch.
WHY START ON A LOOG?
Kids LOVE guitars! But guitars, while popular, are sophisticated instruments that take both time and physical strength to master. The Loog Mini Guitar has just three strings and narrow neck, making it easy for kids to form chords and play melodies right from the very first try. The Loog's strings are the same as the top 3 strings on a six-string guitar. Everything learned on a Loog can be applied to a regular sized guitar later on.
WHY ONLY 3-STRINGS?
Chords, in their basic form are comprised of 3 notes, so 3 strings is plenty to play songs! By reducing chords to the basic triad (3 note chord), it’s easier and faster for kids to learn to play songs. Loogs may be small, fun and cute, but they are not toys. They are real instruments, made out of real wood. And they sound great.
LOOG VS. UKULELE?
Ukuleles are great! Many parents buy ukes because they want a small, easy-to-play guitar. But, unlike ukuleles, Loogs use regular guitar strings and standard guitar tuning, so they play and sound just like a guitar. And skills learned on the Loog can be transferred seamlessly to a 6- string guitar.
SHOULD WE BUY A LOOG?
The decision to purchase an instrument is a BIG ONE! Please know that your child may use the Groove Loogs during class time. However, they will progress more quickly with their skills if a Loog is available for them to play at home. That said, Groove has partnered with LOOG to offer a 10% discount on ALL Loog products. Information (and recommendations) will be shared upon registration for the class.
