A Comprehensive Guitar Series

Bridges

This new edition, in my opinion, is very close to being THE definitive word on classical guitar

instruction period.Patrick Kearney, international

concert artist and professor of classical guitar at Vanier College and Concordia University

TM

Bridges is the fourth edition of the renowned Guitar Series, originally published in 1989 to international acclaim. This edition aims to provide students with a clear, well-paced route for their musical development; to nurture the technique necessary to successfully meet those developmental challenges; and to expose students to the full range of the instruments repertoire. The chosen repertoire and studies at any given level fall within a carefully sequenced range of technical and musical difficulty. From the late elementary to early advanced levels students can be assured that their learning path will be well rounded and complete.

Some of the most notable features of Bridges are:

the inclusion of guitar masterpieces by such beloved guitar composers as Agustn Barrios, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Leo Brouwer

minimal fingering suggestions, leaving teachers more flexibility and a clearer score from which to work

a balance of style choices for repertoire and studies in all levelsThe well-rounded guitarist will have an understanding of the instruments history as well as practical experience with a wide range of repertoire from all historical periods and styles. Guided by this principle, the series editors have drawn on more than 500 years worth of guitar and lute music. Each book features compositions from the Renaissance to the present day; by learning music from each style period, students will gain a comprehensive overview of the evolution of musical styles. The studies have been chosen for building technique and musicality specifically relevant to the repertoire of each level. Technical and conceptual challenges are progressively introduced from one book to the next to ensure the steady development of musical skills.

What Is a Day*What is a day, what is a year of vain delight and pleasure?

Like to a dream it endless dies,And from us like a vapour flies;

And this is all the fruit that we find, which glory in worldly treasure.Philip Rosseter
