Since I frequently teach from the Bridges repertoire books, I decided to video some of the common songs my beginning students play, as a reference. \u00a0Here are most of the pieces from the Bridges Level One book.<\/p>\n
These can also be found as a playlist on the ClassicalGuitarShed Youtube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n At times my tempos and dynamic markings differ from the suggestions in the book. \u00a0If you are just starting out, it is good to follow what is written in your score. \u00a0Some people are real sticklers for the score and consider it gospel. \u00a0I am not one of those people (though I always start with the score). \u00a0Sometimes composers are simply not aware of the best way to play the music they write. \u00a0Composing and performing are two completely different studies. \u00a0In general, a good rule is to go with the score unless you can clearly state your reasons not to.<\/p>\n The Bridges Guitar Series is a great set of repertoire books. \u00a0The first book is called the “preparatory” level, and there are 8 subsequent levels. \u00a0If you would like to buy the Bridges books, you can find them easily online. \u00a0Here is one option<\/a>\u00a0(not an affiliate link).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Here you go:<\/p>\nClick Here for other tutorials from the RCM Bridges Series.<\/a><\/h2>\nNote: Amazon sometimes goes a bit crazy and prices them at hundreds of dollars. This is just some sort of goof-up, so if you see that, just look elsewhere.<\/address>\n
