About the Book

Written by a master classical guitarist with fifteen years of classroom guitar teaching experience, the book provides outlines for daily, weekly, and semester planning.

Review :
This is a much-needed approach for guitar educators since it will assist both experienced and novice guitarists teaching popular styles in the classroom. For any musical style, there are many good tools to manage class progress in this book, delivered in a sensitive and very positive way. Teaching Classroom Guitar is full of great tips for guitar teachers at all levels of teaching, tips that you don't find in standard methods books. A complete education should include music education, shown to improve performance in both math and science. Education is for life, teachers who continue to educate themselves improve their ability to engage students and pass along the skills relayed in this book. An impressive collection of a wide array of tools useful for general classroom guitar education. Steve Eckels demonstrates that he is an educator of experience, breadth, and depth. The information is accurate and methodology well thought out. A veritable treasure trove for the general classroom guitar teacher. I've been teaching a one semester generic guitar course at the University of Maine and the University of Southern Maine for 25 years. The course has morphed into guitar course for music education majors. Your book has been instrumental in furthering this gradual transformation. It is a formidable text! Every idea I've ever had or stolen about teaching this course is in your book plus many more. As a classical guitarist I appreciate the inclusion of good posture and sensible use of the hands etc. Congratulations on such a thorough and no nonsense book. There is absolutely no fat in it!
