Tárrega School is a term applied to the philosophy of study that was developed by Father of Modern Classical Guitar, Francisco Tárrega. Tárrega was highly revered by his disciples, Miguel Llobet, Emilio Pujol, Andres Segovia, Rey De La Torre and others.
Francisco Tárrega lived in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the techniques that guitarists use today, either originated, or were first emphasized in the works of Tárrega. In honor of his great artistry, we offer a preparatory course based on his principles.
Tárrega was a prolific composer and arranger. He composed many studies which employed his techniques. His transcriptions of works by Beethoven, Bach, & Chopin are among the very first for the guitar. They have served as a template for others to follow.
