Classical Studies for Guitar

The studies of Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) stand alongside those of Fernando Sor Matteo Carcassi Dionisio Aguado and Ferinando Carulli as the staples of the didactic pieces by the 'first generation' of classical guitarists. Giuliani was one of the most celebrated guitarists of his age a brilliant performer and prolific composer. He left a legacy of compositions and many of his works are heard regularly in recitals and concerts today. His studentpieces are considered indispensable by generations of guitarists. The studies and exercises contained in the six opus numbers here provide some of the most effective material in the entire guitar literature for building andrefining a superior technical command of the guitar. In this edition David Grimes has modernized some of the notation and corrected a number of misprints from Giuliani's original publications.

Leichte bis mittelschwere Etüden-Paul Coles' 26 Melodic Studies are designed to help the student to develop a basic technique based upon the traditional teachings of renowned guitarists Francisco Tárrega Fernando Sor and Mauro Giuliani to name but a few. The studies progress from relatively easy to more demanding pieces so it is an album designed to accompany the student on their journey as they advance from an initial to an intermediate standard. The contemporary style of the music is tuneful and light making the featured pieces both fun and interesting to play and fingerings have been carefully considered for accuracy and ease of facility. 'PaulColes brings to these studies his combined skills as composer guitar player and teacher and sets out a clear technical and musical route map for the student to achieve excellent results.More than plain studies he uses a pleasing and up-to-date musical language. Here are some pieces with catchy melodies jazzy harmonic turns and foot-tapping rhythms.I am sure they will inspire the student to learn and enjoy at the same time an ideal combination.' - Carlos Bonell International guitarist arranger and teacher

The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teacher???s aid it can also be used for independent study.Topics like posture tuning andphrasing are not prescribed being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being a measuredand progressive tutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student.Book Three places strong emphasis on right-hand technique with the freestroke (tirando) to the fore -thumb and fingers together - while consolidating and building on the notes learnt in first position across the six strings.It also takes a brief look at an alternative tuning and introduces the idea of shifting position.Chords are also given further attention while the introduction of some classic studies from past masters is juxtaposed with a 1970s-style pentatonic-based piece introducing the idea of playing riffs.A set of exercises ondotted notes and a strong selection of pieces complete this volume.About the author: Nigel Tuffs is an instrumental teacher with more than 20 years of experience in all areas of guitar teaching. Originallya member of several rock bands he completed an honours degree at the Colchester Institute specialising in composition and performance and has since worked extensively as a chamber musician in guitar ensembles as an accompanistand also as an educator.

The composer says: For years, my fellow guitarists have been asking me to compose a solo classical guitar piece that reflects that most American of musical styles'the blues. Their prodding was the motivation for Periwinkle Memories; the inspiration for the piece, however, really came from a maestro of extraordinary skill, and a teacher of even more extraordinary patience, Elias Barreiro, my guitar teacher at the University of New Orleans. I have always tried to emulate in my performances the beauty of his interpretations, and to fuse in my compositions the power and emotion of the blues. The name, Periwinkle Memories was a serendipity. I was struck by the light purplish-blue hue of the periwinkle, and soon learned the history of the funnel-shaped flower (Vinca minor.) Though it now grows wild in parts of the United States it is native to Australia, some consider it an invasive weed, most admire its extraordinary beauty. Common herbicides won't kill it. The periwinkle is too vigorous and hardy for that. And now it is not merely a begrudged part of the American landscape, it is a vibrant part of the American landscape, elegant, stubborn, and nearly native. Like the blues. And like that young recalcitrant student Maestro Barreiro worked so hard to mold so many years ago. Ogden Nash said, 'One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence.' Periwinkle Memories is a celebration of Maestro Barreiro, and of both facets of that adage in me. Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A. His training with Maestro Elias Barreiro, Director of Guitar Studies at Tulane University, was supplemented with Master Classes with Manuel Barrueco, Leo Brouwer, Juan Mercadal, Michael Newman, Tommy Tedesco and Carlos Barbosa-Lima. He studied composition under the tutelage of Dr. Jerry Sieg, University of New Orleans, and Dr. Roy Johnson, Florida State University. He consulted with Michael D. Martin, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Music, Albany State University, Albany, GA in the creation of a recordings library that reflects Western Art Music and American Jazz for the students at Albany State University. The New York Premiere of the First Movement of his Second Guitar Sonata was dedicated to and performed by Classical Guitarist Maestro Carlos Barbosa-Lima in 2003 at Carnegie Hall. At the request of U.S. Senator Bob Graham one of his compositions, Si Tu Te Vas (If You Go Away), was included on a recording to promote The Everglades Trail. In 2004, at the American Church in Paris, France the World Premiere of his Romance for Flute and Guitar was performed by the award-winning Serenade Duo, flutist Michelle LaPorte and guitarist Gerry Saulter. He has performed with such legendary musicians as Herbie Mann, Donald Byrd and Debbie Reynolds, led an on stage Renaissance Trio in a University of New Orleans production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and played incidental music for their production of Bertold Brecht's The Good Woman of Sichuan. He has performed Carulli's Guitar Concerto in A, Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story and Marvin Hamlish's A Chorus Line with the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and Okaloosa-Walton Community College, Niceville, FL, and with the Southern Art Music Ensemble, a Jazz/Latin Fusion Sextet, including an Honors Convocation in Atlanta for Mr. Ted Turner. He has been a guest performer with the Albany State University Jazz Ensemble at The Fletcher Henderson Jr., Macon and Atlanta Jazz Festivals, and played the banjo in the Albany State University /Albany Symphony's co-production of George Gershwin's Opera Porgy and Bes

Classical Guitar Solos - Favorite Sonatinas. In this book, guitarist and music historian David Grimes presents 20 ?small sonatas? or sonatinas, complete with detailed performance notes and bio sketches of each of the contributing composers: Leonhard von Call, Matteo Carcassi, Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani, Francesco Molino, and Antonio Nava. While flexible, the early 19th-century sonatina form usually consists of 2 - 4 contrasting movements, here in guitar-friendly keys, making these pieces ideal for performance by intermediate-level students. In all but the most challenging passages, Grimes has intentionally kept fingering to a minimum to allow students to form their own concept of this critical skill. Then, as many bass notes in these pieces are played on open strings, the player must develop a sense of when to selectively damp dissonant tones or observe a rest? exposing and overcoming yet another shortcoming in the education of many guitarists. Most classic guitar teachers are familiar with the easy didactic studies by Carcassi, Carulli and Giuliani; Favorite Sonatinas offers more highly developed, but not yet virtuoso pieces by the same Italian triumvirate? plus three more composers in a similar vein? promoting confident, enjoyable sight-reading by guitarists of all levels.
