Creating my own CurriculumAfter teaching guitar lessons for nearly ten years, I have used a number of materials for my teaching. I have used many websites, books, blogs, magazines, you name it, I have given it to my guitar students. All of the different materials all were great resources to teach from, but they all seemed to be missing something.
After using a mixture of materials for years, I decided to create my own curriculum. |
