He began guitar studies at age 13 and was later accepted into the Short Ridge School of Performing Arts where he studied music theory, sight singing, musicology, keyboard and guitar. Although he was exposed to many styles of guitar playing it was at the Short Ridge School of Performing Arts that he was introduced to the classical guitar which he gradually gravitated towards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn 1982, Lashley made his performing debut playing simple pieces by Bach, Telemann, Carcassi and Sor.

He excelled at his coursework and performing and was a popular recitalist at the university’s Pruis Hall. Among others, he studied with the renowned guitarist Pepe Romero, who predicted for him a promising future as a guitarist, musician and teacher. Lashley has since taught at school and university level and has had numerous recordings released, as well as composing his own original music for guitar in a variety of styles. His pieces have a strong sense of modern individual identity within a classical guitar tradition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lashley-suite-americana","title":"Lashley, Suite Americana","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePhilip Lashley, Suite Americana\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA suite in four movements for solo guitar. Lashley's SUITE AMERICANA was written as a tribute to the baroque suite — a favourite among guitarist all over the world. The muse of Johann Sebastian Bach and Silvius Leopold Weiss can be heard with the movements Prelude, Allemande, Sarabande and Gigue reflecting the traditional stylistic features of form and meter of the period. Lashley was also inspired by the airy harmonies of jazz and those of American composers of the twentieth century, imparting a fresh sound that appeals to those that may not be especially keen to classical music. Lashley's Suite is a marriage between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries with modern times, providing an abstract conduit to the past and the past to the present. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead Chris Dumigan's review of the suite:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Chris Dumigan's review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allclassicalguitar.co.uk\/post\/philip-lashley-suite-americana-bergmann-edition\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.allclassicalguitar.co.uk\/post\/philip-lashley-suite-americana-bergmann-edition\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Print (PDF) or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BERGMANN EDITION","offers":[{"title":"Self-Print (PDF)","offer_id":7886318338101,"sku":"BE-170902","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print on Demand","offer_id":7752681750581,"sku":"BE-170902p","price":18.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1718\/9173\/products\/Clip_0_ccd53cb0-5158-42b9-a7fc-c27f17fd5daf.jpg?v=1525108017"},{"product_id":"lashley-six-nocturnes","title":"Lashley, Six Nocturnes","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Lashley, Six Nocturnes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self Print (PDF) or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate to Advanced \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003e979-0-706806-44-0\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder number:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eBE-181025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nocturne has been evoking images of the night since 1812 with its inventor, John Field.
