Abstract

The purpose of this document is to serve as a prose for E Pluribus Unum: A Comprehensive Ensemble-Based Guitar Method, which I have developed. The method is a new ensemble-based approach to guitar pedagogy that attempts to mitigate some of the challenges of learning solo guitar. After providing a historical analysis of approaches to guitar pedagogy, recounting my own experiences with guitar instruction, and reviewing some current music education readings related to music learning, I have created a user-friendly method to teach guitar for beginners. My vision is to share and promote a new ensemble model that will attract students and provide a resource which may impact future guitar pedagogy.
