Guitars
It is
important for all students to have a good quality instrument
to practice on. There are so many poorly constructed guitars
that have intonation problems and are difficult to play.
Learning any instrument is a challenging undertaking. No
student should suffer on inferior or inappropriately sized
guitar. Therefore, all students (ages 16 and under) who
sign up for a 16 week session are given, at no charge, a
size appropriate guitar. Hopefully making the learning process
easier for the student and the guitar teacher. The guitars
are available in the following sizes: 1/2 size (small children),
3/4 size(adolescents), 7/8 size(teenagers, ladies and gentlemen
with smaller hands) and full size.
Strunal
Guitars. I recommend the Strunal guitars to all of my
students. There appropriate small size, good intonation
and playability makes teaching and learning less of a chore
for children and adults with smaller hands. Strunal
