This course aims to familiarize students with the prevailing methodologies in guitar instruction. Through the examination of these methodologies, students should arrive at a reasoned approach to teaching guitar at the beginning and intermediate levels. Students will also prepare pedagogical assessments of selected teaching repertoire and present their findings for discussion and examination in class. If time permits, there will be analysis of videotaped student performances in which class members will be trained in the detection and solution of errors. Substantial participation in class discussion and online forum is expected.
