Learn classical guitar with free classical guitar lessons, courses, tutorials, inspiration, and practice advice. I created this site for my students at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, in Victoria, BC, Canada. My curriculum guides beginner and intermediate students via my educational book series and free video lessons by me and from professional guitarists. I hope that this page helps supplement the learning experience or help those without a teacher. I also offer Skype and Video Feedback lessons.

Join me and my students for free via the Email Newsletter. This site enables my students to access the best pro videos, lessons, and sheet music. They can absorb the culture slowly, learn by watching, and enjoy a weekly dose of quality classical guitar. Join us by signing up.

Graded Repertoire Video Lessons

The grades here are loosely based on the RCM Toronto. The grades are preparatory to grade 10 and then the ARCT. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as grades in music, pros play from a variety of levels. Many pieces could go in different grades depending on the quality and speed you want to play it at. However, the intention is to help students find repertoire appropriate to their level. ‘Book’ refers to hardcopy links.
