Guitar Works Program

The Guitar Works program is essentially a year-long program (which can be made considerably shorter by skipping repertoire or omitting leadup ‘riff’ work) that is designed for upper primary students. The program is NOT chord based (the Ukulele Works program is designed for that) but rather more ‘classical’ in style in so much that it uses a ‘finger picking’ approach. Included in the program is a PDF booklet of all the songs for students, a PowerPoint for teaching the content (which comes with backing tracks), suggested lesson plans, assessment recommendations, ‘Extras for Experts’ repertoire for advanced students plus some additional activities in the form of simple riffs (which I suggest are used at the start of the program to get kids ‘hooked’ and feeling comfortable with the instrument). Sample pages from the PowerPoint and student booklet can be viewed at the bottom of this page.

Cost

The complete Guitar Works program is $125 which includes free updates if and when resources are ‘tweaked’.

How to order

Click on the Contact tab (top right) and you will be taken to the contact form. Just send your order request (or questions) via the form and I will provide you with an invoice which contains all my details, ABN etc. As I am not registered for GST, there will be no GST attached to your purchase.

Please note that, due to ‘conflict of interest’ concerns, I am not able to invoice QLD State Schools. Consequently, if you are an employee of Education Qld, you would need to purchase the resource in your own name and then claim the cost as a deduction on your personal tax return.

Receiving your resources

After receiving your payment, you will receive your purchased resources by one of the following means:

• email (providing that files are relatively few in number or of small size)
• via a Dropbox link I will provide you with (I can provide instructions on using Dropbox if you are not familiar with it)
• via a posted USB drive (this is the best option for resources such as Ukulele Works or the Classroom Music Resources Package which contain dozens of large files). Please note this USB option incurs an additional $10 which includes the cost of the USB drive and postage.
