“Guitar Study in the United States”

May 28th, 2020

The Music Educators Journal recently published a very original and unique article of major significance in the guitar education field titled “Guitar Study in the United States”. I wrote it with the clear purpose of providing deep and scholastic information for guitar researchers and the guitar community in general.
