Signature Series
About the Signature Series
The signature series is a collection of single composition volumes of Intermediate to Advanced difficulty. Each tune has parts that require notation reading in upper positions, such as 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th positions. These selections are recommended for a more advanced high school guitar ensemble. Completion of the H.O.T. Hands-On Training Second Year will prepare a student to perform these selections.
The purchase price includes permission to reproduce the individual parts as needed to supply your ensemble. This permission is for the parts only and does not apply to the score.
