Summary: The Advancing classical Guitarist (Vol 1)
Comment: As a public school teacher teaching classroom guitar, it very hard to find materials for use with group guitar. The Advancing Classical Guitarist is a valuable tool in my classes. It is written for students who have a working knowledge of music reading and writing, and are ready to move into some solo and/or ensemble work. The review of musical basics, guitar hand positions and types of strokes is excellent. The pages on note reading, musical terms, and circle of fifths are so good that I use them in my band classes, and my AP music theory class. The main body of the book includes Units in different keys, with 3 or 4 ways to play each scale, exercises, and trios and quartets in that key. My students enjoy these arrangements. Each Unit has a Unit plan with objectives and has a quiz to check student progress. The book also has a review of the Major Scales in 1'st position. Some techniques, such as slurring, and pizzicato effect are taught in the book. Included is a suggested list of classical recording artists for listening. For the serious students who go on is guitar, there is a list of suggested reportoire for auditioning, and tips for auditions. This book is wonderful for group guitar, but would be valuable to any guitarist serious about learning classical guitar. I highly recommend The Advancing Classical Guitarist.
