Now that you have a good grasp of basic music reading, posture, and technique, Classical Guitar II will bring you to the next level of guitar playing: refining your sound, developing your right- and left-hand techniques, higher-position note reading, more-complex chords, rhythms and ensemble textures, and general musical comprehension. In addition to performing at two concerts per year, you also have the opportunity to perform in the Guitar Solo and Ensemble concert and participate in the District Honor Group Guitar Festival.

Optional Second Elective as Pass/Fail: The typical course load is six classes. In the 8-9 division, students may opt to take a second elective in (visual arts, performing arts, or computer science) in lieu of a study hall. This is a good option for students who are exceptionally organized and tend to manage their time well; it is not a good option for students with busy extracurricular schedules or who struggle with time management and organization. The seventh class does not count as a graduation requirement. It will not appear on students’ transcripts, and it must be taken as Pass/Fail.
