The Singing Instrumentalist Guitar

This is a comprehensive approach to the first steps of learning an instrument using relative solfa. It’s a musicianship approach in 4 sections, each building musicianship, reading and instrumental skills in small steps.

Section 1: we learn an accompaniment to the tune (pulse and ostinatos)

Section 2: we learn to play the tune, with the music presented in stick notation and relative solfa

Section 3: we revisit the songs, this time reading a reduced stave and teaching transpositions

Section 4: we write our own songs.

There are worksheets throughout the book.
