Thus, if you have suggestion of subjects, or pieces you have problems with, just contact me and that will help to build the curriculum.

17 Feb 10 Villa Lobos DVD released in Australia and South East Asia!

Hi everybody,

The NAMM Show brought a lot of new projects and the Villa Lobos DVD has been released with great success in Australia and South East Asia.

(You can read all the details on my blog. Villa Lobos's story, how the DVD has been filmed, details about the music...)

This is the very first performance and instructional DVD about How to Play Villa Lobos' Preludes and Choros #1. Using the split screen and close ups, I show you in details all the possible fingerings for you to develop your own interpretation. Detailed exercises to play fast scales (like in Prelude #2), what is a Choros and how to play the rhythminc pattern, control the voicing and emphasize the inner voices (like in Prelude #5).

You will also learn how to play arpeggios evenly, increase the speed, and all the technical difficulties are subjects to exercises. Watch previews now:

Philippe Bertaud on the Music by Villa Lobos

This DVD is Produced by Garry Powell for Miramuse, LLC and internationally distributed by Carl Fisher Publishing.
