Miodrag Cupic was born in Donji Zagarac (Montenegro) in 1936 and belongs to the first generation of professional classical guitar musicians and teachers. Besides music he also studied art history and literature, and represents one of the most brilliant Montenegran writers. As a musician Cupic was teaching classical guitar at the music school of the capital city, Podgorica. In 1972 he published his first two didactic guitar works together with musician Rudolf Zakrajsek (Trebinje, 1915 - Podgorica, 1994), who was in those days director of the elementary music school Vasa Pavic in Podgorica. Four years later in 1976 Cupic realized his Guitar School becoming the first official pioneer of classical guitar pedagogy in Montenegro. His large opus consist of more than one hundred different solo and duo guitar pieces. Many of these compositions were printed in various editions both in Montenegro and Serbia, and an important number of the pieces are meant to be serious didactic works. In Cupic's music there is often a presence of Mediterranean colors and influence of traditional music.
