Loudoun County Public Schools High School Guitar Studies Curriculum
Preface
The guitar program in Loudoun County Public Schools aims to prepare students
for the lifetime skill of playing the guitar as well as creating musically and culturally
literate performers and consumers of music. This curriculum is designed to teach
technical proficiency, fundamental skills, performance skills, as well as music history and
music theory of the instrument.
The guitar program is taught in Grades 7 thru 12 and is structured sequentially to
provide continuous instruction, gradually developing musicians with technical and
musical skills and a broad knowledge of a variety of musical styles and genres. The
curriculum is aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) and the National
Association for Music Education (NAfME) National Standards for Arts Education.
Student placement in a designated level is based on the individual student’s
current skill level and is at the discretion of the instructor. High student achievement at a
given level must be indicative of development at the following level, to warrant
