This book teaches classical guitar repertoire at approximately the grade two level. This level is appropriate for students who have completed my Volume 1 and Volume 2 Method Books and the Grade One Repertoire Lesson book. Whereas Grade 1 focused mainly on chords and melody, this book dives deeper into technique, fingering choices, and introduces a number of new musical ideas. The image samples on your left show examples. That said, students should continue to play the melody and chord shapes using the knowledge they gained in grade 1.

Contents – Each piece has two or three pages of lessons followed by a proper performance edition of the piece.

  1. Hi, my teacher said I get ‘sloppy’ the further up the grades (grade 5) I go.

    She recommended you grade two book for foundation studies. Wish me luck.

    Thanks
