To the downloads page for lessons I have added: Adolphe Christiani’s table describing the various types of musicians from his 1885 Principles of Expression; a page of cadences in all major and minor keys I had originally envisioned as a fold-out page to be included in my Giuliani Revisited; and my Fingerboard Harmony Primer, which explores basic triads throughout the fingerboard and how these can be used to develop a better knowledge of functional harmony on the guitar.

Fall classes start at USC on Thursday, August 19. We’ve got a great year coming up. For an early start, I’ll be giving a free, 30-minute concert on Tuesday, August 3 at 12:00 noon at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church at 900 Calhoun Street in Columbia. Music by Moreno-Torroba, Llobet, and more!
