Summary

Introduction

The basic assumptions about a musical instrument's method are related to typical practices and repertoires. Hallam (1997a) defines musical practice as a multi-faceted activity She suggests that an important dimension of learning to practice concerns how well a student is able to develop technical skills, music interpretation, ability to play from memory and to overcome performance stress. This research aimed to build the classical guitar method by choosing various sources of related teaching materials as the basis for analysis. In this respect, the traditional classical guitar methods such as Sor, Aguado, Carcassi and Tarrega are basic references in developing the method book. According to Jeffery (2004) Aguado’s method Escuela de guitarra was published in Spain It addresses subjects such as the concept and nature of the instrument,the suitability of a place in terms of guitar performance. According to Choksy (1974): “Zoltan Kodaly became concerned about the lack of musical literacy in his native home, with the reason Kodaly felt that a child should learn the folk songs of his native country before other music, the simple forms, basic pentatonic scales and comprehensible language of folk songs were well suited for children; and Folk music is not contrived for pedagogical purposes, but is a living art in itself”
