Piano students of Latin American heritage often do not relate to the folk tunes that most methods use because the majority of those melodies do not flow with the rhythm of the Spanish language. This method is based on melodiesoriginal to the Mexican culture. These children's songs flow more naturally with the language and in accord with the Kodály method of music education give a better foundation for teaching basic musical elements in aSpanish language culture. Coupled with constant work on sight-reading this new method is a valuable tool for native Spanish speakers in learning to play the piano and will serve as a helpful and interesting supplement to Englishspeaking students. Muchas veces los alumnos de piano de herencia latina no se identifican con la música folklórica utilizado en los métodos de piano porque la mayoría de las melodías no fluyencon el ritmo del español. Este método está basado en melodías originales de la cultura mexicana. Estos cantos de niños fluyen con más naturalidad con el idioma y de acuerdo almétodo Kodály de la educación musical dan un mejor fundamento para la enseñanza de elementos musicales básicos en una cultura de habla hispana. Junto con un trabajo constante de la lectura aprimera vista este nuevo método es un instrumento valioso para que aquellos cuya lengua materna es el español aprendan a tocar el piano con más facilidad y servirá como un suplemento benéfico einteresante a los estudiantes de habla inglesa.

Classical Guitar Tunes - English Folk Songs. This book presents 42 English folk songs arranged for the intermediate classic guitarist in standard notation with phrase and dynamic markings plus light fingering. The collection includes popular melodies like Sprig of Thyme, Seventeen Come Sunday, and Blow the Wind Southerly, but also lesser known but no less beautiful tunes like Cupid the Pretty Ploughboy, Dabbling in the Dew and Saucy Sailor. All the arrangements present the basic tune faithfully and simply before offering more elaborate and sophisticated variations suitable for concert performance. Without compromising their sophistication, these polyphonic arrangements are elegant and idiomatic to the guitar, all but devoid of excessive physical demands; even barré chords are kept to a minimum so the player can relax and focus on tone and interpretation. The primary objective of this collection is to draw attention to these deserving melodies, some of which are now rarely heard. Longtime fans of the genre will recognize a few songs once performed by folk-rock groups like Steeleye Span and The Fairport Convention, here presented anew for the solo classic guitar. ?It?s an excellent collection - good to play for pleasure, good for learning and consolidating rhythm, good for sight-reading. Just marvelous. It should meet a lot of needs. Gilbert Biberian. ?These are very accessible arrangements of 42 English folk tunes, some of which are familiar and many others which deserve to be better known. They are all tuneful and have interesting harmonies and rhythms in arrangements which will be well within the reach of intermediate guitarists. These fine settings would be useful pieces for a teacher looking for supplementary material and also for the performer looking for unhackneyed repertoire. They are thoughtfully presented with good fingering and phrasing, with idiomatic guitar writing and interesting harmonies. Congratulations to Peter Worley for presenting this compendium of gems from a lesser known tradition.? Gerald Garcia
