First Compositions

These pieces are the first ones written by the composer.

The 4 step process has been proven over and over again to work for a whole diverse range of guitarists, from amateur, intermediate students, college students, and professionals.

Testimonials

“The composition method taught by Daniel has changed the way I play the guitar...forever! I look at a piece I want to play, separate the melody and accompaniment parts, separate sections, and then play and hear the music...and I think of the ways I can improve on the piece!!! And improvise my own piece! What Daniel is doing is an important contribution to the history of the guitar.”

"I must say it was an absolute pleasure working with you. I had no clue how to get started but now I have a clear road map for my next piece!"

— Julie

"What a fantastic opportunity - it's so rare to see a composition course specifically for classical guitar. It also really helps with theory and analysis of pieces. Anyone who takes part is so lucky to have access to this material at your fingertips. Brilliantly presented."

— Emma

"I did not know what to expect and I was rather uncertain because my guitar skills are limited and did this course using my harp. I found Dan’s teaching was excellent and could be applied to just about any instrument. I have learnt a new skill and have had a great time."

— Shirley

"Really appreciate your instruction, knowledge and generosity . You are most certainly the only person I have come across who is putting forward this approach with such an easy to digest manner"

— Chris

"This introductory course in Composition for classical guitar is highly recommended , and excellent value. Daniel Nistico is a highly knowledgeable and well-organised presenter, who is so generous of his time and resources, and so encouraging to all participants."

How is it done?!

The old masters like Bach, Beethoven and Mozart learned their craft by model composition. But unfortunately this method is no longer practiced today.

Using this method of composing enables you to:
• Learn about music theory in a fun and engaging way
• Understand musical style and form (Baroque, Classical, Waltz, Minuet, etc.)
• Become familiar with all musical elements (rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, etc.)

Composing doesn't have to be scary

I've developed a process that makes it easy and simple
