More DescriptionRUNNER-UP IN THE 2011 GLOBAL eBOOK AWARDS FOR "ENTERTAINMENT/PERFORMING ARTS." A first for Classical Guitar. A first for Classical Music. Never before have the voices of so many classical guitarists come together for a unique project that examines how the study, teaching, and performance of the classical guitar has been an "instrumental influence" in the lives of the artists or the lives of their students. Over the centuries, the classical guitar in its various forms has inspired musicians and composers to create some of the world's most beautiful music. The elements of mastering the classical guitar have parallels in other areas of life; some parallels are more obvious than others and may be short-lived, while others reveal themselves over time to last for a lifetime. In INSTRUMENTAL INFLUENCES, the world's best classical guitarists reveal what lessons they have learned through the study of the classical guitar. The book also examines the parallel lessons that emerge from the study of technique, repertoire, memorization, music theory, performance, recitals, music literature, and much more. Readers who enjoy classical music will discover in INSTRUMENTAL INFLUENCES not only the variables that classical guitar students, teachers, and virtuosos must develop over years of practice, but how such acquired, disciplined training opens up other avenues for personal growth and self-discovery.
