Intersection is a level 3 piece intended to introduce IM alternation in the right hand, while deepening a student’s ability to read on the top three strings in D major. Although all notes on strings 4 - 6 will be taught by rote, this piece presents the opportunity to have some preliminary exposure to reading notes on the open 6th string (E) and the open 5th string (A). As always, despite the fact that Intersection presents important technique and literacy benchmarks, our primary focus will always center on expressive music making and performance.
The audio recording for this selection was performed by members of the Austin Classical Guitar Youth Orchestra Iris Rentaria, James Snyder, and Aidan Suskic, engineered by ACGYO member and ACG intern Lennox Kolics, and recorded at Chez Boom Audio in Austin, Texas, which generously donated studio space, equipment, and expert guidance.
