LOS ANGELES GUITAR QUARTET.

ok.. here goes.
the LOS ANGELS GUITAR QUARTET is an accomplished GRAMMY®-winning quartet with a history of 27 years (on the concert stage) that continue to set the standard for expression and virtuosity among guitar ensembles. It consisted of FOUR virtuosic players,(the fabulous 4 u see up there in the picture) John Dearman, Matt Greif, William Kanengiser and Scott Tennant.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY quoted from [http://www.lagq.com/history]

John Dearman
Originally from Minneapolis, John Dearman is a versatile guitarist whose repertoire ranges from samba to bluegrass, and from flamenco to classical. He enriches the sound of the LAGQ by performing on a unique seven-string guitar with extended upper and lower registers. John is currently the Director of Guitar Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.


Matt Greif
Matthew Greif is the newest member of the Quartet. In addition to being a classical guitarist, he has an extensive background playing in other styles, such as jazz, rock, flamenco, and bluegrass. Matthew's recordings include Permanent Transition, which features duo improvisations with Andrew York and Dusan Bogdanovic. Matthew was named Outstanding Graduate of the U.S.C. guitar department, where he studied with William Kanengiser, James Smith, and Scott Tennant. He also studied jazz with Joe Diorio, Mark Pratt, and Frank Potenza. Matthew has taught at several colleges and universities throughout Central and Southern California.

William Kanengiser
Acclaimed soloist, recording artist and professor at the USC Thornton School of Music, William Kanengiser is one of the few guitarists to have won the Concert Artists Guild New York Competition. His solo recordings on the GSP label display his unique approach to programming, ranging from the music of the Old World to the Caribbean to his latest disc Classical Cool, an exploration of jazz currents for classical guitar. He has earned critical acclaim for his imaginative arrangements for solo guitar and guitar quartet, and for producing two instructional videos for Hot Licks. Kanengiser may be best known as the classical guitarist in the 1986 film Crossroads.

Scott Tennant
Celebrated as a world-class performer, author and teacher, Detroit-born Scott Tennant has been concertizing since the age of twelve. Much in demand as a solo artist, Scott has recorded for Delos International and is currently completing a recording project of the complete solo guitar works of Joaquin Rodrigo for GHA, Belgium. He is the author of the best-selling book and video Pumping Nylon, a technical handbook for the classical guitarist, and the five-part series Scott Tennant's Basic Classical Guitar Method. He has taught at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and is now on the faculty at the USC Thornton School of Music.

With over a dozen recordings over the past two decades, they have established themselves as masters of the classics, as well as the creators of the unique syntheses of world-music and contemporary styles that have made the "LAGQ-sound" a favorite around the world(and maybe even by our teacher:P)

CLICK ME

i'll still do my guitar journals using blogger though :) ... meanwhile... im trying to get used to the tumblr script so that i can customize to whateva i like.

but for now its just using of templates :) haha..

argh.. its the insecure feeling i have again. I wonder why? it was like I was given the LOOK again -.-

i shant say who, cos its probably just me and my horrible or maybe AMAZING attitude.....
i had a feeling i am HATED to the core by many people who are pissed off at me(though i can probably guess why, im just a girl carrying a violin, i dont even dare to say im a musician/violinist)...
Performing is not my passion, so i've never really practiced in school for my majoring instrument, but i still regret not practicing it.. i want some encouragement, i want some passion.. but why wont it come out?? Though its strange, Hartung is the most passionate drive i had in school.. cos its most probably just me...

im depressed...

looking at 2 juniours who are according to age, older than me, and watching them practice.. i feel like practicing too..
instead of being a good seniour... should i say im being a horrible one? I cant even play better than them! I just the worst la! I think im hated by many la... my name is not even on the strings ensemb list: a forgotten existence(or should i say i shouldnt be there but i DO go from time to time)

i feel like asking for some lessons from hartung now... my sight reading sucks to the core man.. i cant read linear notes at all.. i wonder why.. i see notes and i go crazy... is there a way to curb this problem?

Next, i think i can totally flunk studio recording test today. its a totally gone case when all the questions are just either half answered or left blank. i give up.. i cant remember the ear diagram, nor can i remember the dBspl graph anymore... im falling apart soon... in fact.. im falling apart TOO SOON!

this is just super great... school just started not too long ago and im stressed up! amazing.

apologies to hui min(i think thats the name of the trumpet girl) for making her move the brass instruments around due to the change of rooms yet i totally forgot. Hay Jin for moving the trumpet/stands and Joseph for holding whatever's left... i'm so sorry for making u guys move around back and forth due to MY mistaking of rooms where we have our class... imverysorry.imverysorry.imverysorry.imverysorry
.imverysorry.imverysorry.imverysorry.imverysorry.

i think im even more hated than amelia now... i have said something wrong... but what have i said??? Only time will tell.
