Microtonality

Based on the 72-ET virtual pitch continuum formulated by Ezra Sims and
Joe Maneri. And as manifested on the landmark 2002 CD release 29 Pieces
For The Microtonal Guitar Live at Knitting Factory New York
. Internationally
acclaimed guitar virtuoso, composer, bandleader and veteran music educator
Sten Hostfalt and NYC Guitar Studio offers microtonal instruction. Mainly through
custom techniques for practical application and interpretation of microtones on
the standard 6-string / 12 fret guitar.


Contrary to rather common beleif - the actual instrument at hand is not what
makes any music microtonal or not. But rather the ear and skill of the player does.
Consequently players of any and all instruments are welcome to study microtonality
with Sten Hostfalt at NYC Guitar Studio. However in this case ( if on other instrument
than the guitar ), note that ear training is the focus and that in addition, the technical
adjustements necessary to perform microtones ideally should be shown
by someone highly skilled on the instrument.
