Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

These days, there are many music curriculum frameworks that help to develop the music curriculum. The majority of the music curriculum framework is generalised to all music instruments when developing a music curriculum. However, these music curriculum frameworks are less applicable to a specific musical instrument such as acoustic guitar in curriculum development compared to a tailor-made curriculum framework. This research carried the goal of developing the acoustic guitar curriculum framework for international graded examination using the Grounded Delphi Method (GDM). The purpose of this study is: (1) To identify the elements of the acoustic guitar curriculum framework for international graded examination. (2) To develop the acoustic guitar curriculum framework for international graded examination (3) To validate the developed acoustic guitar curriculum framework. This research adopted a mixture of grounded theory and the Delphi method (Grounded Delphi Method) to carry out the entire research process intended to achieve the goal of this research. The Acoustic Guitar Curriculum Framework is developed through collected data and coding. The developed framework consists of seven main components, which are Musical Content, Assessment, Communication, Progress, Technology, Current, and Goal.
