  • What style of guitar should you teach? All of them – Here’s how.
  • Teaching students of different levels in the same class with Layered Learning.
  • How to get the most out of guitar ensembles .

  • The Elements of Assessment.
  • Blended Learning – What it is and how to use in your classroom to accelerate learning.
