Pupils can sit graded exams (see below for more info) or just learn for fun.

THEORY
-
NOTATION READING
-
GENERAL THEORY FOR THE GUITAR: chord construction, key signatures, notes on the fretboard etc...
I usually teach child pupils both standard notation (as well as tab) and general theory for the guitar. Adult pupils can learn them if they wish.
I welcome pupils who may already play but would like to learn more theory and to read notation.
