Vocal & Instrumental Chamber Works


Welcome
The Guitar Classroom is a free resource to the guitar (and piano) community, as well as to the vocalist and instrumentalist seeking new works. Here, you will find beginning through advanced guitar books, classical guitar repertoire, new guitar ensemble works, beginning piano curriculum, and a variety of new vocal and instrumental chamber works.

Guitar Curriculum
Guitar educators and students will find beginning through advanced guitar method books that contain a comprehensive curriculum focused on three areas of study: popular-style guitar, classical guitar and guitar ensemble. You can download a single pdf of the complete ​Beginning, 
Advanced Classical Guitar, and Advanced Rock books. Alternatively, you can also download individual works and material from any of the books. All gratis.

eBook
In addition to being available as a free pdf download, the beginning book is also presented in an eBook format. Each lesson includes audio recordings of every exercise, song, ensemble and solo piece. There are also tutorial videos of some of the classical works as well as for the song, Stairway to Heaven. The eBook has been a convenient and valuable instructional and learning tool for both teacher and student
. Both formats are free and located on the Guitar Curriculum page.

Guitar Ensemble
Guitarists and directors seeking new works for guitar ensemble will find my compositions and arrangements for duet, trio and quartet on the Guitar Ensemble page. All gratis. Additionally, some of the works have a link to SmartMusic, a free interactive practice app to help the ensemblist learn and practice his or her part quickly and accurately. 

Piano Curriculum
Piano students and educators will find my first-year beginning book, which includes a few tutorial videos, on the ​Rock Guitar/Piano page.  Additionally, you'll also find intermediate-level classical repertoire that works well either as a supplement to the first-year book or to use with second-year students.

New Vocal and Instrumental Works
Instrumentalists and vocalists will find a variety of chamber music, with and without guitar, on the Vocal & Chamber page.    
I hope these works will be meaningful to you and your audience!   – Lou Warde
