When I was first learning to read music, pieces took me a long time to learn. I had to struggle through each note and the whole process was very painstaking. \u00a0My sight-reading is considerably better now, but could definitely be much better.<\/p>\n
One of the differences in how I learn music now, compared to when I was more of a beginner, is that I think about more than just what the notes are and where to put my fingers. I now consider how they fit in with the other notes around them. \u00a0I consider their volume in comparison with the other notes, and how to play so that it’s interesting to listeners (even though no one is actually listening right at that moment).<\/span><\/p>\n This lesson on a Dionisio Aguado guitar piece explores some of these types of issues. \u00a0The notes in this piece are not terribly difficult to master. \u00a0The rhythms are easy. \u00a0On the surface it looks like a very straight-forward piece.<\/p>\n But looks can be deceiving. \u00a0If we bring higher standard of musical playing, we can find that there are many technical challenges within this piece.<\/p>\nExploring the Aguado Moderato<\/h2>\n
