## Customer reviews

> More than a book, this innovative, interactive document is a manifesto, a curriculum, and a nuts-and-bolts guide to including one of the foremost instruments of our day in a school music program. It is an entryway to a community of forward-thinking music educators and performers, as well as a portal to student engagement. The content of this work is highly relevant to today's classroom and presented with a crystal-clear pedagogical approach that will encourage teachers and students alike, regardless of their level of experience. It is somewhat of a mystery how the guitar has come to be so…
