Lo scopo di questo Metodo (in due volumi) è quello di introdurre l’allievo in modo semplice e piacevole nel mondo della musica attraverso la chitarra, conoscendo diversi modi di suonare e di fare musica usando la propria creatività.
Grazie a questo testo si potranno presto padroneggiare le principali tecniche chitarristiche di vari generi musicali e si potrà anche inventare musica.
Il Metodo è utilizzabile con qualsiasi modello di chitarra.

Il secondo volume del Metodo sviluppa e approfondisce a un livello più avanzato i principi esposti nel primo volume.
Musica d’insieme, tecniche estese, accordature alternative, collegamenti interdisciplinari, notazioni alternative, suggerimenti di ascolto, semplici tecniche di improvvisazione, composizione e arrangiamento sono alcune tra le tante attività presenti in questo secondo volume, che accompagna l’allievo nell’affascinante mondo della musica, arricchendolo sia dal punto di vista tecnico/strumentale che da quello musicale/artistico.
Pe r favorire l’apertura mentale e l’abbattimento delle barriere culturali, i progetti sono volutamente ispirati ai più diversi generi musicali del presente e del passato, senza distinzioni tra alto e basso.
Qui si trovano anche argomenti legati alla prassi musicale antica – rinascimentale e barocca – utili anche per gli studenti dei Conservatori.
Il Metodo si basa su un gran numero di attività creative, volte a rendere più completa la preparazione musicale dell’allievo e a fargli sviluppare un proprio linguaggio personale.

Si tratta di un Metodo per chitarra concepito in modo diverso dai metodi tradizionali, per cui rimando alla lettura della Prefazione al primo volume, in cui sono esposti dettagliatamente i peculiari principi pedagogico-didattici perseguiti e in cui sono contenute indicazioni pratiche sull’attuazione dei progetti presentati.

Nel redigere questi appunti di studio, spero di comunicare la mia ‘curiosità&r squo; verso la prassi compositiva di uno tra i più grandi maestri di tutti i tempi: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).
Per comprendere (almeno in parte) lo stile bachiano, mi sono basato su alcune strutture armoniche riscontrabili con regolarità in fasi precadenzali.
Ho potuto notare come una di queste strutture da me indagate (nello studio definita formula-tipo) venisse ulteriormente elaborata in tutti i suoi parametri musicali fondamentali (melodia, contrappunto, armonia e ritmo) per dare vita a ‘nuovi’ insiemi armonico-contrappuntistic i. Tali formule derivate dimostrano come lo stile compositivo bachiano poggi soprattutto su tecniche di tipo artigianale.
Ho potuto inoltre ammirare come il Maestro abbia saputo coniugare il contrappunto di origine modale rinascimentale con le proprie (geniali) invenzioni armoniche, basate sul ‘moderno’ funzionalismo tonale (vedi la formula tipo modale).
Perciò è mia convinzione che, nello studio sui corali, per caratterizzare lo stile compositivo del Kantor bisogna innanzi tutto identificare i componenti essenziali del suo linguaggio armonico cadenzale (linguaggio ‘moderno’ ma nello stesso tempo derivato dalla tradizione dei maestri del ’500).
Individua ti gli elementi strutturali peculiari, possiamo riconoscerli, reiterati nei punti ‘chiave’ (cadenze) del discorso musicale tonale; in tal modo, essi concorrono a rendere unitaria ed organica la tipica armonizzazione a quattro voci di una forma musicale così ricca di varianti melodiche come il corale evangelico luterano.
(Vincenzo Corrao).

Le scale pentatoniche, che siano maggiori o minori, costituiscono il “mezzo” ideale per tutti i chitarristi che desiderano avvicinarsi all’improvvisazione .

Con questo metodo, imparerete quindi adutilizzare questo tipo di scala per improvvisare con la chitarra. Dopo un minimo di teoria (costruzione, posizioni, relazione con l’armonia…), vi troverete tantissimi esempi musicali, accompagnati da una base musicalespecifica per poter applicare subito gli insegnamenti.

Affronterete quindi l’improvvisazione in modo graduale, prima su un solo accordo, poi due, tre ed infine quattro accordi. Con una sola pentatonica o dipiù.Poi su un giro completo od una cadenza specifica. Scoprirete infine la tecnica delle sostituzioni, la quale permette di rimpiazzare una pentatonica con un’altra, per 'condire' le vostre improvvisazioni.

Il CD MP3allegato al metodo presenta tutti gli esempi con le basi musicali corrispondenti, ossia più di 4 ore di musica in tutto! Su ogni traccia, la chitarra suona l’improvvisazione proposta poi lascia la base musicale andareavanti per qualche minuto per permettervi di suonare.

Tali esempi vi servono quindi da trampolino per improv-visare poi più liberamente.

Il dhrupad è un genere della musica classica dell’India del Nord, in auge tra il XVI e il XIX secolo. Sorto come forma di canto devozionale di una congregazione visnuita del Madhyades, il dhrupad è successivamente divenuto una raffinata espressione della cultura classica delle corti indù e musulmane. Come tale il dhrupad è un essenziale punto di riferimento per conoscere i principi della ‘grammatica’ e dell’estetica musicale indiana e le tecniche esecutive (vocali e strumentali) che le sono proprie. In particolare per il canto esiste un repertorio estremamente ricco di abbellimenti ed espedienti tecnici, tramandati oralmente di padre in figlio all’interno di famiglie di musicisti, custodi di un proprio orientamento stilistico (gharana). Tra le poche famiglie che attualmente eseguono il dhrupad, la più antica è quella del Dagar Gharana, che fa risalire le proprie origini al XVI secolo. Pertanto il Dagar Gharana è il punto di osservazione scelto dall’autrice nello studio del dhrupad, con particolare riguardo allo stile di uno dei suoi più autorevoli interpreti: Ustad Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar.

Our latest contribution to the simple does not have to mean stupid niche. First published in 1885, these settings are modest in scope, yet imaginatively constructed. With considerable rhythmic energy, independence of the two voices, harmonic variety, and interesting accompaniments, they transcend the idiom of the Victorian parlor ballad which they superficially resemble.

Help your students Level Up! their sight-reading skills using their minds and ears, as well their voices! Level Up! is a sequential, interactive, and comprehensive resource built from the authors’ decades of research and experience teaching students of all levels and ages. Using the concept of target skills (isolated pitch and rhythm patterns), Level Up! guides students to carefully understand and analyze every new skill by difficulty. Authors Michele L. Henry and Keitha Lucas Hamann then reinforce each skill by asking students to sight-read specially sequenced practice melodies. Each of the five volumes—Foundation al, Emerging, Minor, Developing, and Advanced—is designed as an interactive workbook for students to mark up, and is available in both treble clef and bass clef editions. The companion Teacher Manuals include clear instructions for how to best use the Level Up! system, outline the approach and sequencing, and provide assessments. Level Up! supports the artistic literacy goals of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) and many state music education standards. The companion website, giamusic.com/levelup, provides even more reinforcement. The goal of Level Up! is simple: to help students become independent and confident musicians, with benefits to last a lifetime! Michele L. Henry, Ph.D. is Professor of Choral Music Education at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. Keitha Lucas Hamann, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.   Level Up! is the most sequential approach to the teaching of sight-reading that I’ve ever seen! Designed for use with singers at the middle school through high school levels, the methodology aligns with National Standards, UIL, and TEKS, and is range related for developing voices. Within each lesson, specific skills are targeted and the interactive approach further encourages the mastery of skills. Individual assessment is provided both for long-term and short-term goals, thus creating a complete and accessible methodology which can be used in any choral or general music classroom. —Lynne Gackle, Director of Choral Activities, Baylor University This book fills a unique niche in the field. I love that it takes the needs of developing/changing voice singers into account and that students can write in the books like a workbook as they are learning the tools for sight singing. Teachers will definitely appreciate the opportunities for assessment built into the series. —Jessica Nápoles, Associate Professor of Choral Music Education, University of North Texas As a teacher, I really do love this resource. It’s broken down in a way that makes it very easy to incorporate into my lessons, and the fact that it’s sequential and very clear about the concepts introduced at each level is extremely helpful. I can see my students (beginners especially) getting better and more confident with their sight-reading. I look forward to using this resource as our primary sight-reading resource! —Courtney Neva, Choir Director, Dripping Springs High School.

Teachers will definitely appreciate the opportunities for assessment built into the series. —Jessica Nápoles, Associate Professor of Choral Music Education, University of North Texas As a teacher, I really do love this resource. It’s broken down in a way that makes it very easy to incorporate into my lessons, and the fact that it’s sequential and very clear about the concepts introduced at each level is extremely helpful. I can see my students (beginners especially) getting better and more confident with their sight-reading. I look forward to using this resource as our primary sight-reading resource! —Courtney Neva, Choir Director, Dripping Springs High School.

Help your students Level Up! their sight-reading skills using their minds and ears, as well their voices! Level Up! is a sequential, interactive, and comprehensive resource built from the authors’ decades of research and experience teaching students of all levels and ages. Using the concept of target skills (isolated pitch and rhythm patterns), Level Up! guides students to carefully understand and analyze every new skill by difficulty. Authors Michele L. Henry and Keitha Lucas Hamann then reinforce each skill by asking students to sight-read specially sequenced practice melodies. Each of the five volumes—Foundation al, Emerging, Minor, Developing, and Advanced—is designed as an interactive workbook for students to mark up, and is available in both treble clef and bass clef editions. The companion Teacher Manuals include clear instructions for how to best use the Level Up! system, outline the approach and sequencing, and provide assessments. Level Up! supports the artistic literacy goals of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) and many state music education standards. The companion website, giamusic.com/levelup, provides even more reinforcement. The goal of Level Up! is simple: to help students become independent and confident musicians, with benefits to last a lifetime! Michele L. Henry, Ph.D. is Professor of Choral Music Education at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. Keitha Lucas Hamann, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.   Level Up! is the most sequential approach to the teaching of sight-reading that I’ve ever seen! Designed for use with singers at the middle school through high school levels, the methodology aligns with National Standards, UIL, and TEKS, and is range related for developing voices. Within each lesson, specific skills are targeted and the interactive approach further encourages the mastery of skills. Individual assessment is provided both for long-term and short-term goals, thus creating a complete and accessible methodology which can be used in any choral or general music classroom. —Lynne Gackle, Director of Choral Activities, Baylor University This book fills a unique niche in the field.

Lowel l Liebermann's 4th String Quartet was commissioned by the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival and the Wood Library, Canandaigua, NY, for the Orion Quartet in celebration of their 20th Anniversary. The quartet was premiered by the Orions at the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival in Rochester, NY on February 9th, 2008. To quote the writer Mark Greenberg: It's a remarkable piece. The mood is elegiacal and meditative, the melodic lines sinuous and searching, the harmonies rich and astonishingly beautiful. Liebermann works within the traditions of Western tonality, but that is a mansion with many rooms. Liebermann inhabits all of them as his expressive purposes require, and he doesn't mind knocking down a wall to create new harmonic spaces. The Fourth Quartet doesn't exactly fit the neoromantic niche into which Liebermann is sometimes placed. Much of the music, especially near the beginning, is a highly advanced and fluid chromatic expressionism with modernist tendencies. Sometimes this roiling cloudscape breaks open to allow a patch of near-classical harmony and almost-resolution. Near the midpoint the clouds lift in leaping modulations. Several chordal passages recall Russian Orthodox chant. Suddenly, when you've begun to think the somber, deliberate pace has gone on a bit too long, Liebermann introduces a kind of hobbled, stilted jazz idiom. The piece dies in pensive quiet.
