I have taught classical guitar at the Conservatory of Oulu since 1972. The pieces in this book were composed during my working years in Finland and over holidays in Andalusia Spain. Originally these pieces were extra material for my pupils. Later I noticed, to my delight, that they had been performed in many concerts all over the country! Through these small pieces, I hoped to increase the motivation of my students and I think it has been a successful venture. I hope these pieces will bring joy and will benefit all players and listeners.
