Herramientas didácticas para el desarrollo técnico musical del guitarrista clásico a través de ejes - Problemas

This paper presents the results of a study undertaken by the classical guitar area of the Music Department at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) in Bogotá, Colombia. The study enquired into emergent difficulties among guitar students of the youth, undergraduate and graduate programs at PUJ. On the basis of the difficulties that were detected a compilation of musical material was developed that can be used as support for the training of classical guitarists. The final proposal of pedagogic material emphasises musicality, is built upon a non-linear structure for learning and incorporates Latin American pieces as well as exercises that deal with improvisation, first-sight reading and non-conventional notation. A qualitative type of methodology was used based upon a three-fold exercise of didactic reflection, systematization of existing musical material and creation of original pieces.
