[New Video] “For Yen” by Celil Refik Kaya

Posted on by Yenne

 

 

 

This piece, “For Yen”, was written by my good friend Celil Refik Kaya. Celil is a marvelous guitarist. I first met him in 2011 at Mannes College of Music where we were Master’s students. Since I first heard him playing, I had no doubt he would become a recognized guitarist that he is now.

“For Yen” was originally formed as short improvisation Celil Refik Kaya recorded in 2011. The improvisation was written down with little changes in a character of a short melancholic prelude. Later the piece was dedicated to me (Yen is the name I use in daily life).

 

The sheet music is published by Les Productions d’OZ (Click)

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/for-yen-single/1318617967 (Click)

Recommended website for audio purchase: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/yennelee5 (Click)

Available on Amazon, Spotify, and other major stores as well.

 

 

Upcoming events

Posted on by Yenne

 

 

For those of you who are wondering about my upcoming events:

 

I have a presentation for New York City Classical Guitar Society on December 7 at 7pm. I will be sharing tips on how to make effective arrangements and how to play them.

Visit www.nyccgs.com for more information: http://nyccgs.com/december-2017-meeting-yenne-lee/

 

 

I am again invited to teach at the New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes in 2018. I will be teaching master classes. Registration is not open yet. I will post an update once it is. It is a week-long seminar, full of master classes, ensemble rehearsals, great lectures, and concerts. I would be happy to answer questions about the seminar if you write me an email. Also visit the seminar’s website: mannesguitar.com

 

 

Other than the above, I am planning to release my second album and have album release concerts in New York City and Seoul in Spring 2018 (Could be Summer or Fall, depending on my work load). In the concerts, I will be playing selections from the first and second albums, plus a few classical pieces.

 

I am also planning to release singles every few weeks! Next one will be released within 1-2 weeks.

 

Stay tuned! Thank you!

New digital Single “Autumn Leaves”

Posted on by Yenne

 

 

The Autumn Leaves is available for download here:

 

 

 

It will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc. soon.

To purchase it now, click here.

 

My videos with Guitar Salon International have been received very well, especially Autumn Leaves.

 

I was planning on recording the piece for my second album, which I am aiming to release in Spring 2018. However, I decided to release a single prior to that so more people can enjoy it in more various ways in this season of fall.

 

The mp3 is available for purchase on CD Baby (Click here).

 

If you support my music, and if you haven’t, please buy my album “Beautiful” to help boost funding for my second album.

The second album is going to be a different theme than 70’s pop songs.

If you haven’t received an answer email from me

Posted on by Yenne

 

 

If you sent me a message to my email accounts or via the contact form on this website and haven’t heard from me, I apologize, but it’s because I am getting too many messages to respond. I already spend more time on the computer than I would want to. I want to spend more time with guitar.

 

Yes, it’s a shame the Autumn Leaves is not available in your country. I will work to make it available. However, I don’t know when that will happen. Hopefully within a month.

 

Thank you for your emails of suggestions and words of support.

As for suggestion on what song/piece to play- unfortunately I already have tons of songs and pieces I want to record. The chances are I probably won’t play the song of your recommendation unless it’s actually one of the ones I was going to play. Thank you for your suggestion still!

 

Feel free to discuss with each other in the comment how to buy Autumn Leaves sheet from outside US/Canada, etc. I think some of you can help each other out.

 

Thank you for your support always.

[Sheet Music News] Autumn Leaves available in US and Canada

Posted on by Yenne

 

 

Hello guitar lovers,

 

I have a good news and a bad news (depending on where you live).

 

The good news is that the sheet and tabs for Autumn Leaves is finally up for sale! Thank you so much for waiting patiently. I made both staff notation version and staff+TAB version.

 

Staff only: Click here

Staff+Tab: Click here

 

 

The bad news is that you can buy it only if you are in the US or Canada.

(Update on November 1, 2017: It’s available worldwide at musicnotes.com. CLICK HERE) 

I couldn’t get a permission to sell it worldwide. HOWEVER, I am positive that I will be able to sell it worldwide through an online distributor (not on my website). I will keep you updated!

 

 

It is amazing how well my video of Autumn Leaves is being received. I played the non-classical piece with a mind of classical musician, and the fact that so many people enjoy the performance proves my belief that the classical guitar can and should be used in more variety. It has a beautiful sound and must be heard by more people.

 

Thank you for your love and support.

 

 

Best wishes,

Yenne
