Instructor Highlight 

Lorna Midgelow-Yearwood has the zeal and passion of a “born-again” organic vegetable gardener. For many years she was unable to grow 

vegetables through lack of sun. Now, happily in full sunshine, she is entering her fifth year of serious backyard farming! She is mainly a self-taught 

gardener, through the obsessive reading of many books and plenty of hands-on successes and failures in the garden. Over the past couple of years 

she has attended a multitude of commercial organic vegetable and fruit classes, plus she volunteers at a local Community Sustained Agriculture 

(CSA) farm. In an attempt to be more self-reliant and reduce her environmental footprint on the earth, she grows a wide variety of crops in her 

backyard in Springtown, PA. By teaching this series of classes she hopes to help and inspire others to do the same. Check out her blog at 

http://winifredslittleacre.wordpress.com.

MUSIC 

Music 

guitar Basics I 

Hands-on, fun approach for beginners. Basic functional skills developed 

through exposure to folk, country, rock, and blues styles. Real music used 

to teach chords, melodies and some reading using both finger-picking and 

flat pick. 


(2) Mon, Feb 25-May 13, 6 - 7 PM SBTH/FWLC Metzger 

Course Code: mUSIC100 fee: $139.00 

Geared toward those witLittle or no knowledge. Guitars may be rented relatively 

inexpensively through local music stores. 

guitar Basics II 

This course builds upon the basic reading and chord skills developed in 

Guitar I, but could also be taken by a student with a mastery of the basic 

chords. The class focuses on developing techniques that can be applied to 

basic chords to make them sound more musical and complex, the basic 

process by which popular musicians develop materials. Included will be 

the integration of simple bass lines into chord progressions derived from 

real songs. 




The development of reading skills is continued from Guitar I, with the expectations 

that the students can intermittently play the melodies and the chords, together in 

class, of the songs studied. 

guitar Basics III 

This course represents a more advanced approach to developing musical 

materials than Guitar II. Here specific devices that create specific styles 

(rock, country, metal, Latin) are introduced and applied to real songs. 

Attention on simultaneously playing chords and bass lines still remains, 

but attention is now also given to the alterations that can be made to the 

upper notes of the chords to make the music even more interesting. Again, 

the students will be expected to intermittently play in class the song s 

studied. Prerequisite: Guitar Basics II or equivalent knowledge.

Intro to Perioperative nursing 

This web-based, distance learning course is appropriate for the experienced 

RN who wants to work in an operating room or function in units 

where invasive procedures are performed on a routine basis. The goal of 

this introductory-level program is to provide an experienced RN with the 

basic knowledge to get started as a perioperative nurse. The program includes 

both didactic activities and a hospital-based operating room clinical 

preceptor program. Participation in this course requires that a surgical 

facility sponsor the student and a clinical preceptor be assigned to give the 

student access to the operating room environment. 

Surgical facilities may have additional mandatory requirements pertaining 

to criminal background checks, physical examinations, immunizations, 

drug screening, etc., that must be met prior to beginning the clinical experience. 

Please contact the specific facility and/or preceptor being utilized.

of building a guitar meant for nylon strings. This course will be lots of fun 

and you will have a finished product that will become a family heirloom.
