Daily Sight Reading Material with Emphasis on Interpretation Phrasing Form and More-A generous resource for the classical guitar student that will develop the essential sight-reading skills required to become a truly first-rate musician.Divided into three progressive levels of difficulty the course contains over 150 melodic exercises alongside more than 100 rhythm exercises. Furthermore the exercises are fully explained with comprehensive tips guiding your approach and describing exactly how to assess each piece before you begin to sight-read it.This is an invaluable method that promises to unlock the mysteries and difficulties surrounding this often daunting aspect of musical training.

Unlike many Bach editions for guitar these transcriptions are meant to be performed using a pick. Although a few of the pieces may be played on a standard acoustic guitar most require an electric guitar or a guitar with acutaway. All pieces are in the original keys and their ranges may require notes as high as the twenty-second fret. Written in notation and tablature these six pieces make great sight reading exercises. The included online audiowill prove an asset in learning these often challenging pieces. Includes access to online audio.

Méthode progressive, vol. 1 (franCais / english / español)64 p., Niveau 1Une nouveauté aux Productions d'Oz, forts actives dans le domaine de la pédagogie pour guitare. ConCue pour être utilisée avec un professeur, la Méthode progressive pour guitare de Claudio Camisassa se démarque des autres ouvrages pour guitaristes débutants. De très nombreux morceaux sur les cordes à vides (une quinzaine de pages) permettent à l'élève de se concentrer sur l'acquisition d'un bonne technique de main droite, seul le pincé étant abordé dans ce premier volume. La méthode qui s'appuie sur un répertoire original écrit par Claudio Camisassa, comporte de nombreux duos pour l'éléve et le professeur et, surtout pour l'éléve, un accompagnement optionnel en accord ou en arpèges des mélodies travaillées. Deux pages d'exercices journaliers simples mais réellement efficaces, accompagnées d'indications précises sur Ies techniques de jeu, complètent cette méthode au chemin pédagogique efficace et rigoureux.(FranCois Nicolas, Guitare Classique, 2e trimestre 2002)This well-presented volume takes students from the very beginning with four main objectives of Classical Guitar Magazine developing technique, sight-reading, basic chord accompaniments and duo playing, and assumes the student is working with a teacher. It is very methodical, beginning with photographs of hand positions etc, and gives explanations of both rest and free stroke from the start. The first musical examples are open string melodies with added chord symbols with plenty of varied exampIes, and blank staves are given for note-writing exercises and also for aural tests, both of which are useful ideas for reinforcing general musical understanding. Apart from chord symbols, the left hand is first introduced with natural harmonics at the twelfth fret in an effective two-part exercise Carillon, which requires right fingers and thumb. Combinations of open strings and right-hand arpeggios follow and the opening section is brought to a natural close with Valse des Harmoniques - nicely shaped and quite complex with its use of natural harmonics, but a bit over-long. Camisassa now introduces notes on each string, in turn, in first position, and more complex arpeggio patterns, illustrated by pieces utilising each new group of notes. 2-guitar arrangements of tunes including Frere Jacques and Au Clair de la lune and Alouette, gentille alouette work quite weIl with straightforward accompaniments. I liked Camisassa's Tango, and Recuerdo de mi infanta, a two-part milonga reminiscent of Cardoso. Favourites such as Greensleeves and Malaguena are also included, and there are many pieces by Camisassa included which aim to enforce musical ideas. I found the way this book progresses, and the technical and musical aspects it teaches, very good and very thorough. I found myself using it a lot as supplementary material to demonstrate technical points and for sight-reading. However, the majority of pieces written by Camisassa did not inspire me musically and would need to be supplemented with pieces of more characterful musical interest, particularly for young players, but this volume does have much to offer.(Linda Kelsall Barnett, Classical Guitar Magazine, June 2002) / Guitare
