As guitar instruction increases in popularity in secondary schools, many band, choir, and orchestra teachers are asked to teach guitar. This helpful and concise volume provides all of the practical tools necessary to teach guitar in the classroom, especially for music instructors who are not guitar specialists. Formatted to follow the school year from summer planning to the opening weeks of the fall semester to a week-to-week timeline for the full school year, this resource encompasses all possible needs for a non-guitar-playing music instructor navigating the world of guitar instruction in a classroom setting. In twelve expertly organized chapters, author and veteran guitar teacher Bill Swick gives hard and fast guides for instruction, providing reassurance alongside invaluable tips for novice guitar educators. This book addresses questions such as "I do not play guitar, why do I have to teach guitar?" "What is the classroom lifespan of a guitar?" and "New students in January?" while also providing practical solutions including basic setup, how to select the correct method book, and equipment maintenance.
