the development of guitar teaching in co-dependence
with making of guitars in slovenia and a comparison
to croatia
Mentor: prof. dr. Darja Koter
Public defence: 18. December 2020
Abstract of doctoral thesis
The doctoral dissertation deals with historical development of guitar teaching
in interdependence with the production of guitars in Slovenian territories and
in comparison with the development of both activities in Croatian territories.
The history of teaching and making the instrument in both regions is shorter
when compared to some more guitar-developed countries, such as Spain, Italy,
France and others, and is tied to the last stage of evolution of the instrument,
namely to guitars with six single strings. The first traces of institutional gui-
tar teaching in Slovenian territories were spotted in the interwar period and in
Croatian territories under the influence of Ivan Padovec already a century ear-
lier. The production and teaching of the instrument took place with varying
intensity over time in Slovenian and Croatian territories. Throughout history,
there were many interactions that contributed to the successful development
of guitar-playing in the territory of both countries. The development of mu-
sic reproduction and guitar teaching is also linked to original textbooks, creat-
ed in both areas in different historical periods. Their authors relied mainly on
Italian, German and Austrian models. In the interwar period, the material was
intended primarily for self-study and related to the learning of guitar accom-
paniment, and later more explicitly focused on solo playing. Certain textbooks
were used simultaneously in both musical environments. Some of the most de-
serving representatives for the development of guitar-playing in Slovenian ter-
ritories were Adolf Gröbming, the author of the first Slovenian guitar text-
book, Stanko Prek and Tomaž Šegula, who significantly marked the Slovenian
and Croatian territories by their pedagogical work as well as textbook materi-
al. After the WW2, the Melodija Mengeš musical instrument factory contrib-
uted to increased interest in guitar-playing through the production and sale of
guitars and thus in the 1960s indirectly also to its gradual integration into the
curricula of public music education. In recent decades, the quality level of play-
ing, teaching and also making the instrument has been rising in both coun-
tries. The successes can be linked to a long tradition of constructive coopera-
tion between guitar educators and guitar luthiers, which had the influence on
