! ABOUT THIS BOOK! Video Lessons! Video lessons for this book have been made to help students successfully complete the material. ! Look for the list heading Lessons for Method Book Volume One at: ! www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/lessons/ ! Find a good teacher! This publication is intended for use with a qualified teacher. Many important concepts have been left out to allow a degree of flexibility in teaching styles. ! ! How to use this book! 1. There are three sections to this book, use all three simultaneously. After starting the progressive method the student should begin the chord and supplement sections.! 2. Cover every page, especially in the progressive method.! 3. Do not write-in left hand fingerings, students must learn to recognize the notes on the staff.! 4. Phrasing, dynamics, and articulation have been omitted to produce a clean score. They should be discussed and added by the teacher and student as a lesson activity.! A note to students! 1. Listen to your teacher. Even if your teacher recommends something contrary to the materials in this book, you must trust their expertise in deciding what is best for your unique development. ! ! 2. Ask questions. Your progress will depend on how well you understand the material. It’s not all about practicing so ask for clarification on anything you do not fully understand. ! ! 3. Request material. No beginner book will ever satisfy all your personal interests so request material from your teacher.! ! A note to parents ! 1. Go with the flow. Avoid telling your child that they will “have to practice” or “you have to behave.” Instead, set up a regular time of day where practice is expected; the goal is to build routine and productive habits. When something is routine, such as going to school or brushing one’s teeth, it just happens and usually does not require much maintenance once established. Keeping a practice chart to record the number of minutes practiced is an excellent way to make sure the routine gets established. ! ! 2. During the lesson: Parents are around too much (as far as kids are concerned). Sorry, but your presence might distract your child during the lesson and inhibit a relationship of respect and friendship between student and instructor. This is not always the case, but important to consider. A nice compromise is to have the parent join the lesson during the last five minutes to review the lesson content or see a positive performance. The best situation is when the parent offers praise for good work and the teacher takes care of the rest.! "iv

Beat and Tempo Notes Notes, Beat, & Tempo      Notes will be placed on a staff (5 lines), as shown below. Notes are symbols used in music to represent the pitch and rhythm of a standard musical sound. Pitch refers to how high or low a note sounds. Rhythm will be discussed in the following pages. Anatomy of a note: The word tempo is used to describe the how fast or slow the beats are moving. Beat, also called pulse, is the basic time unit in a piece of music. For example, if you listen to a drummer and you begin to tap your foot at regular intervals, you are likely tapping 'the beat'. Your heart has a pulse, each beat of your heart is similar to the beat in music. Noteheads with stems Stems with flags Noteheads    © Bradford Werner, 2015. Victoria, BC, Canada.

Theory: Major Scales   C Major: Two types of intervals must be understood before learning how major scales are constructed. A Half Step is the distance from one pitch to another or one fret to the next on the guitar. A Whole Step is the distance of two pitches or two frets on the guitar.

    ! ABOUT THIS BOOK! VideoLessons! Video lessons for this book have been made to help students successfully complete the material. ! Look for the list heading Lessons for Method Book Volume One at: ! www.thisisclassicalguitar.com/lessons/ ! Find a good teacher! This publication is intended for use with a qualified teacher. Many important concepts have been left out to allow a degree of flexibility in teaching styles. ! ! How to use this book! 1. There are three sections to this book, use all three simultaneously. After starting the progressive method the student should begin the chord and supplement sections.! 2. Cover every page, especially in the progressive method.! 3. Do not write-in left hand fingerings, students must learn to recognize the notes on the staff.! 4. Phrasing, dynamics, and articulation have been omitted to produce a clean score. They should be discussed and added by the teacher and student as a lesson activity.! A note to students! 1. Listen to your teacher. Even if your teacher recommends something contrary to the materials in this book, you must trust their expertise in deciding what is best for your unique development. ! ! 2. Ask questions. Your progress will depend on how well you understand the material. It’s not all about practicing so ask for clarification on anything you do not fully understand. ! ! 3. Request material. No beginner book will ever satisfy all your personal interests so request material from your teacher.! ! A note to parents ! 1. Go with the flow. Avoid telling your child that they will “have to practice” or “you have to behave.” Instead, set up a regular time of day where practice is expected; the goal is to build routine and productive habits. When something is routine, such as going to school or brushing one’s teeth, it just happens and usually does not require much maintenance once established. Keeping a practice chart to record the number of minutes practiced is an excellent way to make sure the routine gets established. ! ! 2. During the lesson: Parents are around too much (as far as kids are concerned). Sorry, but your presence might distract your child during the lesson and inhibit a relationship of respect and friendship between student and instructor. This is not always the case, but important to consider. A nice compromise is to have the parent join the lesson during the last five minutes to review the lesson content or see a positive performance. The best situation is when the parent offers praise for good work and the teacher takes care of the rest.! "iv

    Beat and Tempo Notes Notes,Beat, & Tempo      Notes will be placed on a staff (5 lines), as shown below. Notes are symbols used in music to represent the pitch and rhythm of a standard musical sound. Pitch refers to how high or low a note sounds. Rhythm will be discussed in the following pages. Anatomy of a note: The word tempo is used to describe the how fast or slow the beats are moving. Beat, also called pulse, is the basic time unit in a piece of music. For example, if you listen to a drummer and you begin to tap your foot at regular intervals, you are likely tapping 'the beat'. Your heart has a pulse, each beat of your heart is similar to the beat in music. Noteheads with stems Stems with flags Noteheads    © Bradford Werner, 2015. Victoria, BC, Canada.
