$84Spanish Guitar Lessons / Harmony / Composition / Arrangements / Ensemble

Trusted teacher: • Spanish Guitar Classes: Over time I have learned to appreciate the Spanish guitar like a small orchestra. - Lead guitar. - Guitar arranged to accompany. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Harmony: The three fundamental pillars of music are: melody, harmony and rhythm. I make this selection of harmony because this is the structure on which a melodic line relies to build a soundscape. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Composition: The musician must compose both when interpreting existing music and to create new one. It is the form of expression that allows us to be sincere and show the landscapes that contain our soul and our heart. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Arrangements: Once we have all the material for a composition (our own or not); we must recreate the soundscape that we want to express by choosing the instrumentation, texture, and entrances and exits of each musical phrase. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Assembly: It is important when arranging a composition (our own or not) that we take into account teamwork, seeing it as a map of subjective possibilities that each instrumentalist contributes to the whole.
