RECENT ARRIVALS

Universal Guitar Cover

This cover is made of velvet and comes in a one-size-fits-all shape.  It helps to protect the instrument from scratches, sweat, dust and weather-related damage. 

Colors available: black, dark blue, burgundy. 

List price: $29.95.  Our price: $24.95.

OUT-OF PRINT MUSIC

A treasure chest for the sheet music collector!

A large stock of music that was in storage for many years was acquired from a music dealer.  This music is not used music; it has never been sold.  So Classical Music Publications is able to offer some titles and arrangements that are now out of print, and also older editions of current music at a reduced price.

When they're gone, they're gone.

Come and see what you can discover!

ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC PUBLICATIONS

Classical Music Publications was begun by Sharan Sacks in 1991 as a part-time home-based business.  It continued in that form for several years.  After a period of dormancy, CMP has re-emerged in its present form, as a full-time business in its own storefront location.

Sharan has played classical guitar for many years, having studied with several Southern California university-level instructors, including David Grimes (head of the guitar department at California State University Fullerton), a short time with Frederick Noad (of the PBS instructional series and author of many guitar method books and anthologies),  many years with Cornel Imry (formerly assistant professor of guitar at California State University Fullerton, the University of California Irvine and California State University Dominguez Hills, now teaching privately), and most recently at Santa Ana College with David Adele and Oliver Althoen. 

For over 25 years Sharan sang in a local congregational choir.  She has sung for 4 years in Santa Ana College's Santa Ana Singers, for 1 1/2 years in their Chamber Choir, and has studied voice with Dr. Elliott Jones at Santa Ana College and privately with Holly Jones.  She has performed ensemble music both as a classical guitarist and as a singer in duets and trios with flutists and other singers.

Sharan holds a bachelors degree from California State University Fullerton with a major in Spanish language and literature and a minor in music.  She also holds a masters degree from CSUF in linguistics.  In August 2007 she completed an Associate of Arts degree with a major in music from Santa Ana College, with an emphasis in classical guitar and choral/vocal music .

In addition to running Classical Music Publications, Sharan teaches private lessons in beginning and intermediate basic or classical guitar.  She also teaches both a kids and an adult beginning guitar class as part of Santa Ana College's Community Services program.
