Everybody's Guitar Ensembles 1 offers a fresh "Step-By-Step Approach" introduction to ensemble playing. This elementary level collection will make your ensemble stand out! Includes recordings to assist the student in the important skills of accurate note playing and rhythm.
Everybody's Guitar Ensembles is designed to teach guitarists how to perform well with other musicians. It provides fun-to-play music in a variety of musical styles. All pieces in this book are adaptable to either pick-style playing or classical technique.
Step-By-Step Approach
The ensemble pieces in this book have been carefully graded so that beginning students may participate very early in their music training. The easiest ensemble uses all quarter notes (except for the final note), with each performer playing natural notes on only one string (each part using a different string). New concepts, such as sharps, flats, chords, and other rhythm values are introduced gradually throughout the book.
