Resumen
Lead Guitar, a new different methodology to learn to play the guitar, which since 1999 is being developed in the USA, although working as a project, was founded in 2007. Could this be a new way of taking music to schools and universities?The Lead Guitar program establishes permanent classical guitar classes in public schools with low access to the arts. A Lead Guitar master instructor—teacher who has at least a Master’s degree in classical guitar performance—use a field-tested curriculumto teach students to play and to train teachers to teach classical guitar. This co-teaching method between a Lead Guitar instructor and a school’s Teacher-of-Record ensures not only the short-term quality, but the long-term sustainability, of the program. Typically, after 2-3 years of a school partnering with Lead Guitar, the Teacher-of-Record can carry on the program independently.
