This collection plus the accompanied videos is excellent addition to my repertoire as well as a good learning opportunity. Great attention to details – when printing the book, the music is very readable and organized. The fingering is well thought out. The thrills, notes, alternative ways of playing, etc., gives depth and choices for rendering the music.
Hope to see a similar collection for Grades 4-6 in the near future.
Thanks for the review. I also have a graded series so if you're interested in more collections you can find them in the methods and techniques section. THere is a grade 4, 5, and 6 book.
Some beautiful works I'm not familir with but will be soon. Thanks, DN.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback.
...but some really helpful notes and exercises to help guide your practice. Drawing attention to the most challenging sections is particularly useful, as it is a guide to whether the piece will be appropriate to your level of learning.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
As usual, well thought out for the level it is addressing, while covering a diverse group of musical periods. Make's an early student feel they are accomplishing something.
Great to hear, thanks for the feedback!
As an advanced beginner Classical Guitarist, I find these pieces a to be a fun challenge. While some of the pieces are beyond my level, I have been practicing and enjoying the simpler ones. It gives a little variety to my Method Book 2 repertoire and the music is so beautiful. I love Classical Music and learning to play Classical Guitar! Many thanks to Bradford Werner for the great music sales. I am pleased to be building a comprehensive music library!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience Sharon!
