WISSAM ABBOUD
Wissam Abboud is an accomplished Lebanese guitarist, composer and instructor who always strives for perfection. He graduated from Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU) with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Musicology. He also earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music - Classical Guitar Performance and Baccalaureate Diplomas in Theoretical Studies and Sight Singing from the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music. Wissam is also the co-author of the book entitled "Acoustic Duo", an instrumental songbook for guitar duo composed by Wissam and Roy Abboud. After many years of teaching classical guitar and knowing the detailed obstacles that students usually suffer from regardless of the method used, Wissam felt the need for a different approach. He began to write specific exercises for his students to help them overcome their difficulties, then after a few years, decided to incorporate them in a new classical guitar method series. Wissam is currently a Guitar, Theory and Sight Singing instructor at the School of Music of Antonine and Notre Dame Universities.
