Hi Folks,
I am pleased to be able to tell you that Barbara has just had "Six Pieces for Solo Mandolin" published by Astute Music (http://www.astute-music.com/online/product_info.php?products_id=104&osCsid=2552bb1a5672132e112f712a696f740b). The book is called "reflections" and is very reasonably priced at £6 (about $12). The intro reads as follows:
" REFLECTIONS, six pieces for solo mandolin, is a collection of short pieces which have been composed with specific musical or technical aspects in mind. This book utilizes many commonly used mandolin techniques including: legato tremolo, stroking patterns, arpeggio technique, chords and harmonics in highly attractive, accessible and rewarding pieces for the Intermediate player (approx. Grades 2-3)."
"Barbara Pommerenke-Steel is a mandolin and guitar teacher based in Lanarkshire, Scotland. She teaches mandolin on an individual basis and in classes. She founded the award winning mandolin and guitar orchestras "Da Capo Alba" and "MANGO" (Youth Orchestra). She is inlvovled in local, national and international federations and organisations in which she works tirelessly to improve the standard of mandolin teaching and playing throughout the UK"
Best wishes
Ian
