About the Author
Alice Artzt, whom Guitar international Magazine has called "America's best player", made her solo concert debut in London in 1969. Since then critics in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas have unanimously acclaimed her performances as a soloist, in concertos with orchestra, and in chamber music groups. She studied guitar with Julian Bream, Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya, and composition with Darius Milhaud at Aspen Colorado, and at Columbia University where she earned a degree in musicology. In addition to her concert performances, Alice Artzt also appeared frequently on TV and radio, and has been on the juries of many international guitar competitions (CAG, GFA, Toronto, Segovia NYU, Rodrigo, and Alessandria). She has made 13 solo records (LP or CD), and has written two books on guitar technique (The Art of Practising and Rhythmic Mastery), as well as many articles on music in various magazines. She has taught for the past 45 years in private lessons and in master classes all over the world. (Several of her instructional videos are on YouTube.) Presently she teaches privately in Princeton NJ - Contact: Guitartzt@aol.com, or by phone at 609-921-6629
