The GuitarVictoria Studio Series – Volume I provides the beginning classical guitarist with all the raw materials needed for weekly lessons. Designed for student and teacher alike, this volume avoids editorial fingerings and allows the teacher to incorporate multiple pedagogical approaches to the art of music instruction. A qualified classical guitar instructor is needed to use this book. Number of pages: 87.

Intention :
Students require a wide variety of material unavailable from a single source. Most classical guitar books do
not include chords, blues, popular music, or the variety of teaching materials needed for modern
instruction. After years of carrying around stacks of heavy books between studios I began to write out my
own material. I have left out fingerings and editorial markings to keep the material clean and ready to use
by any pedagogical approach. Enjoy.

Important information about using this book :
This publication is not intended as a self-study method. Nearly every page is designed to give the student
and teacher the raw materials for use in weekly lessons. A qualified instructor is essential as this book
purposely leaves out explanatory materials, suggestions in fingerings, and technical guidelines for
technique and performance practise.

INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUME: Fundamentals of reading music notation; Solo & duet repertoire; Traditional songs; Chords, Blues, Folk, Pop, and Rock; Modern tablature; Supplemental scales, technique, & theory; Sight-reading exercises; Arrangements by Bradford Werner; Original compositions by Bratfort von Werwinkle.
