This comprehensive course in classical guitar offers students a structured and inspiring journey into the heart of expressive performance and technical mastery. Covering fundamental techniques, musical interpretation, and exam readiness, the curriculum is ideal for learners preparing for ABRSM Grades 1–5 or seeking to build a disciplined and expressive classical playing style.

The course begins by introducing the classical guitar's anatomy, historical context, and proper posture techniques. Students will learn how to tune their instrument accurately and maintain it with care. As the lessons progress, right-hand techniques such as rest stroke, free stroke, arpeggios, and dynamic control are explored in depth, equipping learners with the tools to shape tone and articulate music clearly and expressively.

In parallel, left-hand development is emphasized through finger independence exercises, shifting, slurs, and vibrato. These techniques are essential for accuracy, fluidity, and stylistic versatility. Once the technical groundwork is laid, learners dive into musical interpretation, mastering phrasing, articulation, dynamics, and expression to bring pieces to life with emotional nuance and authenticity.

Repertoire building and performance skills are also core components of this course. Students learn to select appropriate pieces across historical periods, develop memorisation strategies, and manage stage presence and anxiety. Sight-reading, scales, arpeggios, and aural tests are integrated throughout the course to ensure comprehensive exam preparation and real-world musical fluency.
