Purpose of the Downloads

The downloads are intended to provide a standard of comparison to enable the thinking individual to answer questions such as the following:

“How do I know if I have practiced enough?”

“My present assignment is so boring! When can I play more interesting music?”

“When my teacher asks me to repeat an assignment, I panic. I think maybe I’m not progressing fast enough. Am I correct or not?”

“How much of my practice should be devoted to accurate, steady playing, how much to expression?

“As a guitarist with more than ten years of study, I have gone through several methods and learned standard repertoire. Yet, I cannot play even a single piece straight through with confidence. What is wrong with me?”

“I was inspired to take up guitar by the recordings of Segovia. If I practice really hard, how long will it take for me to play like him?”

“I have been playing for six months, why don’t I sound like Segovia?”
