Murmures de classe (Classroom wispers), est un paysage sonore de nos classes de musique. Dans un premier temps, les jeunes guitaristes s?installent au son d?un ostinato à la guitare 4. Le son de la cloche, sur le thème du Big Ben, annonce le début des cours. Ce projet est issu d?une demande de Mme Amélie Grenier. L?aspect théâtral de cette pièce a pour objectif de stimuler le travail collectif dans leur milieu scolaire. Suggestion lors d?une prestation publique: Les guitares s?installent et commencent à jouer. Tous les autres guitaristes entrent en parlant, s?accordant, en jouant et au signal du chef à la mesure 5 la pièce débute. Bon spectacle Classroom wispers, is a soundscape of our music classes. First, the young guitarists settle in to the sound of an ostinato on guitar 4. The sound of the bell, on the theme of Big Ben, announces the start of lessons. This project came from a request from Ms. Amélie Grenier. The theatrical aspect of this play aims to stimulate collective work in their school environment. Suggestion during a public performance: The guitars settle in and start playing. All the other guitarists enter talking, tuning, playing and at the signal of the conductor in measure 5 the piece begins. Good show.

Director's technical and musical notes are included in the download.

Inmy recording I have used an electric guitar. The arrangement is also verysuitable for classical and acoustic (steel strung) guitar groups. I am mindfulto create an arrangement which teachers can use for groups in music schools.The techniques employed mirror those required in the usual pathway of musicaland technical development. I am certain that using popular and well-loved musicwill achieve exactly the same musical and technical results as ?classical?repertoire with the added bonus that audiences, parents and pupils alike willfind the music exciting, original and motivating.

I hopevery much you enjoy playing Wonderful Tonight. Please do investigate my dozensof other arrangements and compositions of music of all styles, suitable for allfrom beginners to concert players.

A short, easy arrangement of the theme from Antonin Dvorak's famous New World Symphony (2nd Movement).

This arrangement provides a full score plus individual parts in both notes and TAB. The notes and TAB are given on separate sheets as I am aware that some teachers avoid TAB.

The parts are equally balanced with every guitarist enjoying some melodic interest.

The level is suitable for very early stage players. The music:

(1) Remains in open position
(2) Uses finger-friendly pentatonic shapes (as supported by many major pedagogic schemes)
(3) Requires players to alternate single notes between both thumb and fingers
(4) Gives time and space before engaging more-tricky fretted notes.

An arrangement of Leonard Cohen's beautiful song, 'Hallelujah' for easy guitar ensemble.

This is one of the most iconic pop songs ever written and has been covered by a huge range of international artists.

This arrangement has been designed to make technical playing as easy as possible and to maximise musical interest; even the easiest part has melodic interest due to the pentatonic shapes employed.

Download now includes a conductor's score and individual parts in BOTH NOTES AND TAB, all in one download.

Parts in TAB are provided on a separate sheet to the notes as I am aware that some teachers/learners wish to avoid using TAB.

To help learners, a multi-screen video is available at: https://youtu.be/m8QP5LoBkuc.

Walking in the Air is the iconic, beautiful song used in the 1982 animated film 'The Snowman'. The Welsh child singer, Aled Jones, popularised the song in a single released in 1985 to great commercial success.

This version is for four guitars of intermediate level. In the single download you will receive:

A full score in both notes and TAB.
Independent parts for each of the guitars in notes
Independent parts for each of the guitars in TAB

Please note than I am aware that many teachers and ensembles dislike using TAB. Therefore, my TAB parts are provided on separate sheets so that teachers and performers can chose whichever system of notation they prefer.
