Level 2A marks the beginning of intermediate study for classical guitarists. Designed for students who have completed a beginner course or are comfortable with basic technique and music reading, this term focuses on strengthening core skills including right-hand finger independence, left-hand coordination, and expressive playing. Students will begin exploring more complex rhythms, musical phrasing, and beginner-level solo repertoire from the classical canon.
