With my Online Lessons I would like to offer an alternative to learn famous guitar pieces as well as even learning to play the guitar. E. g. my one year lasting course for song accompanyment is being prepared to be offered online. This is interesting to people who live to far away from music schools and guitar teachers. Also to people who don´t like to be bound by contract for a longer periode this offer may be an alternative.

Focus of my Online Lessons is to learn guitar pieces independantly. The user is being lead certain through the piece by preparing excercises using audio visual support. A present sheet of the music is a direct precondition and has to be procured by the user. I don´t give interpretations on the discussed pieces, but in sections separated audio recordings in slow speed; this can be understood as a beginning orientation. Concerning the level of difficulty I limit the declaration for simplyfication to 1 and 2 meaning "easy - intermediate" and "intermediate to advanced". Additional remarks are given in the list of titles.

Here are also offers to be found that doen´t deal to guitar playing directly. A medical video is in preparation that focusing on complaints to problems of tendons especially for guitarists. Besides the classical pieces workshops on flamenco guitar are planned, too.

Repertory and Composers

In my Online Workshops I mainly use music by composers who are dead for at least 70 years. If I use younger pieces, than I already have a written permission in present by the author. If individually younger pieces are whished, than I can offer such jobs as an individual service what will be invoiced in accordance with individual extra services. In this case the orderer will also pay the fees to the GEMA (German society of authors and composers).

Remarks

Up to realize an Online Lesson ready to run a lot of time taking detailed work is necessary what produces costs. To keep the offer attractive I offer the first workshop completely and free of charge. Because of the big data file sizes I recomand to use internet access at least using ISDN speed, better DSL or cable. By using analog modem access obvious waiting times on dowonloads can´t be avoided. An extremely compression of the media datas for modem users would cause unacceptable quality.

Special thanks to Udo Kamjunke and Dieter Kreidler who gave me the piece Salida del Sol totally for free to use it for my workshop and offer it to everyone for free download HERE or at www.musikshop.de. Don´t forget the notification to the GEMA (or your local authors society) in case of performance!
