SUGGESTIONS FOR BUYING A GUITAR
I recommend the Cordoba Mini II Mahogany Acoustic Guitar $150
If a student already has a nylon string classical guitar, an acoustic steel-string guitar, or an electric guitar available to practice with at home, that will be fine. The above guitar is only my opinion. Please talk to the store from which you will be purchasing to help you decide which guitar is the correct choice for your student.
- This classical guitar has nylon strings which are easier on children’s fingers as they build finger strength.
- It’s a short-scale parlor guitar for students of all ages.
- It has dot inlay fret markers which most classical guitars do not have. Dot inlays help students navigate the fretboard.
- This guitar has 14 frets which is also rare for a classical guitar. Having more than 12 frets allows students to easily play octaves.
- This guitar has a wonderful sound; I own several of these guitars and use them for teaching.
