Editorial Reviews After graduating from Oxford he came to California in 1957 to organize a story department for the J. Arthur Rank Organization in Hollywood. When the film company sufferd some setbacks and had to curtail its U.S. plans Fred decided to stay on. Soon after he was offered a job playing the guitar, which had become a favourite avocation, and he began to teach and to write for the instrument as well. Thus began a long and happy (if unexpected) musical career. At this time he studied composition with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco at the latter's home in Beverly Hills and attended master classes of Andres Segovia and Julian Bream as a performer. In 1966 Noad lauched the award winning TV series "Guitar with Frederick Noad" for PBS. The programs were enthusiastically received from coast to coast, and were credited with introducing 100,000 new players to the instrument. The currently running educational television series is a color remake of the original with the benefit of the latest electronic techniques. Fred Noad has been a faculty member of the University of California Institute of the Arts. He has performed as a soloist, as part of a duet team, in concert with a lyric tenor and also as a continuo player in early opera. In addition to the guitar he played the lute and theorbo. After his fathers death, in 1931, Fred grew up in Eversley a small rural village in Berkshire, England. He attended Eagle House Preparatory School, and was later accepted at Wellington College, where he received his diploma in Latin,...
