GuitarPrinciples is proud to announce the next step forward in fulfilling it's mission "To enable anyone who wants to learn the guitar to be able to do so,  regardless of age or background". In this case, we are doing it by getting specific, by examining everything necessary in actually learning a beautiful and challenging piece of music. 

In "Practice Secrets for Spanish Romance, According to The Principles of Correct Practice for Guitar", you will get what can only be described as an "awesomely enlightening" education in the micro-details of what the practice of a specific piece of music SHOULD be like. 

How do virtuoso guitarists think when they practice a piece, and what do they do??

Well, if you start doing the same thing, guess what will happen to you? That's right, you will start to move closer and closer to the same level of playing as the virtuoso!!

Jamie has gone inside her own head (she likes it there, anyway), and put into words (many words!) the exact process, movement by movement, that she goes through when she practices and plays Spanish Romance, a beautiful piece for any fingerstyle player to learn. 

In this new teaching resource, which is the first in "The Principled Player Series", Jamie introduces a new, and extremely powerful  learning technique for guitarists. It is called "Verbal Event Analysis".

It involves the analysis and verbal recitation of every movement, or "event" that must occur in the practicing and playing of a piece of music. 

Jamie is well known in her private teaching for taking up to half an hour in examining and explaining how to best practice and play even a single measure of music. 

"Practice Secrets for Spanish Romance" is like having a 10 hour lesson from Jamie!
