What's In A Name?

LEYENDA GUITAR

is a private guitar teaching practice that has been inpiring guitarists in 
the Yukon for over 20 years. Many people ask me, 
'what does 
Leyenda mean'? 
When I first started my guitar study, now over 40 years ago, I was 
delighted when I learned how to play my very first classical piece. 
Leyenda, also know as Austrias was composed by piano virtuoso 
Isaac Albeniz, and made famous for guitar by the classical master 
Andreas Segovia. His transcription remains to this day as the 
quintessential piece in the practicing guitarist's repertoire. 
For me, Leyenda represents a starting place for my students as it 
teaches some important and fundamental techniques for playing the 
quitar. Synchronizing the left and right hand is a challenging step for 
beginners. Overcoming this hurdle while, at the same time, learning to 
play a beautiful and memorable piece is very satisfying. Taking 
beginners through this classical fingerstyle territory helps students 
realize their own potential and gives them the confidence they need to 
develop a well rounded practice routine that supports all aspects of 
guitar playing, technique and repertoire. 
If you would like to learn this famous classical fingerstyle piece drop 
me a line and I can help you increase your understanding and 
knowledge of a most remarkable instrument.
