Tone for the Non-Guitarist Guitar Educator

Tone is one of the top priorities for choral and instrumental music educators, but when teaching guitar, many do not know how to approach this topic. This presentation will guide non-guitarists toward an understanding of what a good tone is and how to produce it.  

Kevin Vigil joined the faculty of Heritage High School in Leesburg, Virginia, in 2005-06. In 2020, he was chosen as the Joan C. Edwards Distinguished Professor in the Arts at Marshall University. His articles have been published in several national and international music magazines and journals. He has presented lectures for the Guitar Foundation of America (GFA), the Philadelphia Guitar Society, and Yale, James Madison, Marshall, and Shenandoah Universities. He currently serves as Vice-President for the Virginia Guitar Directors Association, and Chair for the NAfME Council for Guitar Education.
