In the author's words, "Classical Guitar Pedagogy is the study of how to teach guitarists to teach." This university-level text will be of enormous assistance to the teacher in explaining the musical, anatomical, technical, and psychological underpinning of guitar performance. It contains ideas and techniques to help organize your teaching more efficiently, plus tips on career development as a classical guitar teacher and performer.

Must have for serious classical guitarists

Excellent book. I can't say enough good things. Author explains techniques and the physics behind them. e.g. the finger muscles, holding the guitar, etc. My techniques have improved tremendously. e.g., my tremolos have become much smoother and less painful.
