Muriel Anderson
Composer and guitarist Muriel Anderson was raised in a musical
family in Downers Grove, Illinois. Her mother taught piano and her
grandfather had played saxophone in John Philip Sousa's band. Muriel fell
in love with the guitar at age ten and learned every style available to
her, culminating in classical guitar study at DePaul University. She went
on to study with classical virtuoso Christopher Parkening and with
Nashville legend Chet Atkins. In 1989 Muriel became the first woman to win
the National Fingerpicking Guitar Championship in Winfield, Kansas.
Muriel has released several CD's: Heartstrings, Arioso from Paris,
Hometown Live, A Little Christmas Gift with French guitarist
Jean-Felix Lalanne, and Le Duet. She has released an instructional
video and book as well as a transcription book from her recording
Hometown Live. Muriel writes for several guitar magazines and teaches
guitar at Belmont University in Nashville. She originated and hosts
"Muriel Anderson's All Star Guitar Night" and has performed at Orchestra
Hall in Chicago, the Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,
Tennessee, and at the Olympia Theater in Paris. Muriel's classical guitar
is "The Muriel Model" made by Paul McGill in Nashville, TN. She plays on
GHS strings and uses an LR Baggs pickup system to augment the
amplification of the instrument.
