Guitar Series Third Edition Guitar Series Third Edition The Guitar Series was originally published in 1989 to international acclaim. In 1997, a second edition was received with heightened enthusiasm. The present third edition, launched in 2004 and building on that strong foundation, has been refined to meet the changing interests and needs of teachers and students. The aims of the series are threefold: to provide students with a clear, well-paced path 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 instrument’s repertoire and potential. The Guitar Series guides students from the late elementary level (Introductory book, Repertoire and Studies/Etudes book 1) through to late intermediate and early advanced repertoire (Repertoire and Studies/Etudes books 7 and 8). The studies/etudes are especially suited for building technique as well as musicality 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. The well-rounded guitarist will have an understanding of the instrument's 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 for the present edition. Each book in the Guitar Series features compositions from the Renaissance to the present day; from book 2 on these are grouped according to historical period. By learning music from each period, students will gain a comprehensive overview of the evolution of musical styles and of guitar music in particular. The guitar student who works carefully through this series under the guidance of a good teacher will gain not only technical proficiency, but also artistic maturity and a broad overview of both the instrument’s repertoire and its possibilities. A Note on Editing and Performance Practice A systematic and thorough approach to fingering is fundamental to a student's success in learning to play the classical guitar. The fingerings in this series have been designed in accordance with the latest pedagogical principles and to ensure natural playability and musical integrity. The use of fingering indications throughout the nine Repertoire and Studies/Etudes books and the Guitar Technique book is intended to assist students to adapt to the increased level of complexity encountered in each successive volume and to provide a logical framework for the development of a musically fluent and flexible guitar technique. Faithfulness to the composers’ intentions, as reflected in the source materials, has guided the editors’ decisions concerning the inclusion of dynamic markings. The editors have added no dynamic markings to the scores where none are to be found in the original sources. They stress, however, that all music must be played with dynamic contrasts whether or not specific indications are given in the score. Metronome markings for the repertoire and studies suggest tempi within the bounds of stylistic dictates and technical considerations. Frequently, a tempo range is given to accommodate individual interpretations. In the interest of personal creativity, teachers and students may wish to alter the given dynamic indications and metronome markings, or to employ alternate fingering systems. This edition follows the policy that the bar line cancels accidentals. In accordance with current practice, cautionary accidentals are added only in cases of possible ambiguity. For examination requirements of The Royal Conservatory of Music, please refer to the current Guitar Syllabus.
