COURSE DESCRIPTION
U.T. DALLAS MUSI 2324-INTRO GUITAR CLASS
The guitar class has a twofold objective: first, the
presentation of introductory technique in order to develop
playing abilities at the beginning level on the classical
guitar, and second, the study of the guitar through its
history and varied musical culture. The first goal will be
achieved via class participation and follow-up home practice.
The second goal – requires you to attend two classical guitar
performances or events such as a master class or workshop and
then write a summary of both events in two pages, double
spaced. Reports are due by the end of the semester. The UTD
Guitar Series is our on campus guitar concert/event provider.
See the brochure for dates and full information about the
exciting guest artists and events. Reports on in-class
performances will be considered extra only. FALL FESTIVAL AT
UTD NOV. 18 & 19TH is the date for our class performance.
Participation in this event is required so please secure the
date/S. I will provide you with further details about this in
a timely fashion.

While this course will stress the development of correct

techniques and musicianship of the participants at the
introductory level, it is by no means limited in scope to
beginners only. More experienced players of the guitar who
would like to improve their abilities and understanding of the
instrument and its lore are welcome in this class.
Grades will be given through a combination attendance in
class, and a two part final exam. 0-1 absences will qualify
you – in part – for the grade of “A/A-.” Extra points are
given for perfect attendance. Please note: the grade of
incomplete is discouraged as an option in this course. If you
cannot complete the course for any reason, please withdraw
from the course and take it again at a later date. Finally, I
would like to welcome each one of you to guitar studies at
UTD! I hope that you profit from and enjoy this class, and I
hope to see many of you again this fall in Intermediate
Guitar. Intermediate Guitar meets weekly Thursday evenings in
this room. Permissions is required, so please let me know that
you are interested in this class.
TEXT AND MATERIALS:

UTD – MUSI 3381 GUITAR ENSEMBLE CLASS:

The evening guitar class will further develop the skills

of ensemble performance and the principle techniques of solo
guitar playing learned in the introductory guitar class. The
class will thus have two parts: the first part will present
exercises for technical development and ensemble playing, and
the second part of the class will be dedicated to solo guitar
performance and stylistic interpretation.
From time to time the class will host and hear
performances by guests who are invited to the class, and/or
participate in a master class by our - often international-
guest artists. This fall we will enjoy performances by Carlos
Perez of Chile, and a chamber concert of XX century great
works for guitar and chamber ensemble.
Grades will be based on in class performance – that is:
weekly class preparation, performance of
assignments,attendance, and your written work. 0-1 absences
will qualify you – in part – for the grade of “A/A-.” Written
work consists of two reports on classic guitar events. I
suggest a concert and a master class, though two concerts may
also qualify. You may use in-class events for extra credit
reports only.
A final class performance will take place at the Fall
Festival – Nov 18-19. Participation in this performance is
required and part of your performance grade –so please secure
this date/s on your schedule. I will provide dates and details
for Spring Festival.
Please note: the grade of incomplete is discouraged as an
option in this course.

If you cannot complete the course for any reason, please

withdraw from the course and take it again at a later date.

Dean Dennis Kratz

School of Arts and Humanities
U.T. Dallas
April 9, 1997

Dear Dean Kratz,

In response to your request for proposals for concerts and
events for the 97-98 academic year, I would like to submit the
following proposal for your consideration: a concert in three
parts presented by Sabine and myself. The proposed concert
will feature a solo section by Sabine with Baroque and New
Music of Northern Europe. Sabine specializes in this
repertory. Composers include: J.S. Bach, Sylvius Weiss,
Baroque composers of Germany, and Jana Obravska of the Czech
Republic and Annette Kuisbrink of the Netherlands who are
composers of New Music.

The solo section that I will perform features contemporary

music of the Americas. Selected works from my recent Compact
Disc "Old World-New World." Comments from the musical press
on this release have been favorable: according to "The
American Record Guide" for March-April 96, the music on the
disc is ".....well paced and presented, and contains clever
programming." The magazine "Classical Guitar" of London likes
the "passionate playing of Spanish and Latin American Music"
which the disc presents. (Feb 96). A copy of the disc is
included with the this proposal.
The third part of the proposed recital, the duo segment will
present music from Europe, the Americas, and Japan. Composers
include: Giovanni Batista Granata, of 17th century Bologna,
Leo Brouwer of Cuba and Toru Takemitsu of Japan, composers of
New Music. I also propose to re-set a transcription that I did
of "Three Lullabies" by UTD composer Robert X. Rodriguez for
two guitars. My first transcription of these pieces was for
guitar solo. I have performed these works by Maestro Rodriguez
in concerts at home and abroad.

The duration of the complete program will be approximately

ninety minutes including intermission. The intermission will
occur after the second solo segment, thus presenting a pause
between the soloists and duo ensemble. This program is
specifically designed for the School of Arts and Humanities at
UTD. We request a fee of $750. for this concert.
I enclose copies of programs that Sabine and I are performing
both locally and abroad in the next six months. We are
performing a two-part program in Mexico City on April 23 and
then again in Madrid on May 10. Locally we will present this
program at the Arts Magnet High School on May 1 and at Skyline
High School on May 2. Under the auspices of the office of
Cultural Affairs , "Neighborhood Touring Program" we will
present similar programs at the D Art Center in July, and at
the Oak Cliff Branch of the Dallas Public Library in September
of 1997.

Please call me if you would like any further information on

this proposal. Thank you for your invitation to submit
proposals such as this one for consideration to the School of
Arts and Humanities.

Sincerely,

Enric Madriguera
Lecturer

GUITAR CLASS - FALL 2002

The guitar class has a twofold objective: first, the

would like to improve their abilities and understanding of the
instrument and its lore are welcome in this class.

Grades will be given through a combination of a major written

and playing exam, in class performance, 2 concert reports, and

performers this semester, John Knowles, Tribute to Chet Atkins

Quartet from Monterrey, Mexico on Nov _. Your attendance is
required at both of these events.
I deem attendance and preparation/practice for class to be the
essential elements to your success. Thus a B range grades or
lower will be assigned to students who miss more than 2
classes in the semester. Perfect or near perfect attendance,
participation in the class and its projects, concert reports,
etc. will qualify the student for A range grades.Please note:

April 24, 2003

Dear Student players,

Well here we are at semesters end Spring 03. Tomorrow night is

the Spring festival. We are scheduled to begin at 6:30pm. The
Intro class will begin followed by the Continuing Section.
There will be a printed program with your name on it – so
please help yourself to one as a remembrance of your class
performance. Please arrive in plenty of time to tune, set up
chairs, stands, and be ready to play. Thanks for your
participation and hard work on this project – and remember the
saying “practice makes perfect” holds true – so please
carefully review your part on all pieces in the program.

An AP 3381 Intro class will be offered in Summer II at UTD.

Let me mention to that there are ensembles offered at nearby
community colleges if you would like a class that will take
you farther – as you have finished Intro guitar at UTD. CCCC
offers an ensemble in Summer I M-Thurs 1-3pm taught by Sabine
Madriguera,tel 972-8815613 and Randall Nye 972-860-7133 at
Eastfield College will offer and ensemble M-Thurs evenings in
Summer I.

The fall of 2003 at UTD will offer you the opportunity to take
the Intermediate Guitar Class. This class meets weekly at 7pm.
By taking the current section AP 3381 you are eligible to take
MUSI 3381 – Intermediate Guitar. The intro class will be
listed as MUSI 2324. UTD Guitars need to be returned to the
Visual Arts Office by the end of next week. Your deposit will
be returned. If your are enrolled in MUSI 2324 – you will have
first preference for retaining a UTD instrument in the fall.
Several of you have asked me about finding good guitars. Of
course Guitar Center and Brook Mays have instruments aplenty –
just make sure you purchase the instrument that you want –
rather than the instrument that the sales staff wants you to
buy.
If you are interested in purchasing a used instrument, feel
free to contact me. I can put you in touch with other students
who have good used instruments for sale – as they purchase a
higher level of instrument for themselves. If you would like
me to scout an instrument for you by a Spanish maker you can
equally contact me with this request. Esm4433@dcccd.edu, 972-
860-7138

I hope that you have enjoyed this semester and learned plenty
of guitar and heard concerts and events which have been
interesting to you. Best wished for academic success at UTD. I
hope to see those of you who wish to pursue playing
opportunities in the Fall in Intermediate guitar at UTD. EM
