John
Hall specializes in the study and performance of classical and jazz music. The
etudes in this collection were composed with these two styles in mind; combining
the harmonic characteristics of jazz with the classical concepts of
voice-leading and counterpoint. They are meant to serve as transitional material
between the studies of Carcassi/Sor and the etudes of Villa-Lobos.
John
Hall was born in Detroit, MI in 1955. He attended Detroit Public Schools and
received his first intensive musical training at Cass Technical High School in
Detroit. He is a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit where he studied
guitar with Charles Postlewate and Joe Fava and received advanced training in
music theory as a graduate student under Dr. Richard Parks. A university
instructor for over twenty years, he is currently on the faculty of Oakland
University in Rochester, MI. and the Cranbrook Educational Community in
Bloomfield Hills, MI.
