At the end of the program we give a concert for parents, sisters, brothers, friends and the other pupils. In this concert, we have some solo pieces "composed" by a few advanced pupils, one or two etudes for full orchestral class and some songs accompanied by our Eastern guitars. At the end of the program, each one takes their instrument home. A few of the pupils from each group will turn to classical guitar studies.

This project can used by any musician playing guitar, violin, cello or mandolin. Today we run this project in 20 elementary schools. The teachers have full support from us. Some can come to our studio for guitar for perfecting their style. Some get help via e-mails telephone, fax and letters. In the last three years, we have taught 4,000 pupils using this method. This year we will start support private guitar teachers running this method for young beginners, as a pre-guitar instrument.

In the next article - My philosophy and it's applications for teaching guitar.

Clean up: probably the main reason I've always avoided doing homemade instrument units. I should be bold! Be brave! Be nuts! :-)
