Summary of This Method
Rockschool Acoustic Grade 2 is aimed at students who have between one year and 18 months of learning experience, mastering key skills as well as solid basic techniques. Based on the "Acoustic syllabus 2019," this book offers an updated approach to acoustic guitar, designed to develop musicality, rhythmic precision, and sound control.
The content is organized around six tracks per level, selected and assessed methodically to support the student's progression. At each level, part of the work is done without accompaniment: the goal is to focus on projection, resonance, attack quality, and the sound balance specific to the acoustic guitar. This approach helps establish a solid, expressive, and well-grounded playing style, essential for successful performance under exam conditions.
The other tracks take the form of modern-style "session" accompaniments, including vocal backing. To go further, vocal melody lines are also indicated in the notation book, an excellent option for musicians who wish to sing and play simultaneously, work on independence, and refine interpretation.
Beyond the sheet music, the method emphasizes autonomy: the "Walkthroughs" provide detailed advice for each track (technical points, common pitfalls, musical objectives), while the "Fact Files" offer information about bands and artists, with listening recommendations to develop style. Finally, the downloadable audio accessible online facilitates regular practice, tempo training, and situational rehearsal.
