The aim of this research project was to develop an integrated approach of classical guitar method based on the international graded examination syllabus. The development of classical guitar method was intended to unite various learning resources, so the learning is expected to be effective, efficient and less difficult. The data examined were in the form of literatures related to traditional classical guitar method, International graded examination syllabus and Malaysian traditional songs. The classical guitar method analyzed were by Sor (1778 -1839); Aguado (1784-1849), Carcassi (1792 –1853) and Tárrega (1852 –1909). Meanwhile level of competency for grade 1,2 and 3 of ABRSM and Trinity international are applied. The inclusion of Malaysian traditional songs is an effort to preserve and respect local values. The products of this research are in the form of Classical guitar method book accompanied by a tutorial video, which are useful as learning and teaching materials for independent learning as well as regular lessons.
