Programs

TEACHER TRAINING:

On-site consulting: We will visit your program and help you get started or reach new goals.

If needed, we send guitar education consultants, called "teacher-trainers," to make regular visits to new or existing guitar programs.

Our trainers work with the students and mentor the teacher(s) at the school.

This training is open to any music teacher who applies for the project,

No guitar experience necessary. On-site training at the teacher's school.

Technique and curriculum: We cover how to play the classical guitar with a good, reliable technique.

We reference the guitarcurriculum.com method.

The guitarcurriculum.com has had phenomenal success in Austin I.S.D., Houston I.S.D. as well as hundreds of schools all over the world.
