I suppose the goal is not just in reaching new, and more, people, but is [...]
Review of The New RCM Series: Bridges – A Comprehensive Guitar Series by the Royal Conservatory of Music

GSI was happy to provide a guitar that was raffled to raise funds to help defray some [...]
Redesigning my method books
I’ve been redesigning my Guitar Victoria method books so if you like the them buy em up as they won’t be available much longer. I’m combining both of them into one book to be distributed through Classical Guitar Canada. Sadly I’ll have to remove much of the material but I think they will streamline the learning process. [...]
