Leccion No.78 by Julio Sagreras

Lección No.78 by Julio Sagreras (1879–1942) for classical guitar with performance, lesson, and pdf sheet music. This comes from my sheet music collection Grade 1 Repertoire Supplement for Classical Guitar. Contains 10 works at the grade 1 level and is designed as extra repertoire for students who have completed my Volume 1 and 2 method books and specifically my Repertoire Lessons Grade 1. Here is the YouTube link if you want to watch it there.

Lección 78 by Julio Sagreras (1879–1942), from Primeras lecciones de guitarra offers a good opportunity to work on ascending slurs (hammer-ons) as well as melodic shaping and musical balance with a prominent melody. It also is primarily in second position with one or two shifts so great for students to keep their hand position aligned and organized. As with No.77 previous covered, the short length and manageable elements of this work make is possible to use as a focused technique study on playing musical ascending slurs without taking up much time. Due to the short length, aim for a very high quality performance and sound.
