Description

Francis Kleynjans, Répertoire ludique en forme de méthode

For Solo Guitar

• 52 Beginner to Intermediate pieces with a second optional part for the teacher

• French Text

• 134 Pages

A continuation of Mes débuts à la guitare, this method can be played at the end of the 1st cycle and will accompany you until a fairly advanced level.

Each of the 52 pieces focuses on a technical aspect specific to the guitar. They can be played alone or accompanied by second guitar (the teacher or another student).
This method can be approached in various ways:
– as solo or duet repertoire: some are real concert pieces.
– as a method for amateurs: without being overly explicative, it is progressive and fun.- As a method for future professionals: it proposes a multitude of preparatory exercises that establish a solid technical base, and provides additional practice material for those who wish to progress further on their instrument.

Although text is in French, it is self explanatory and easy to follow for those who do not read French. The book contains many great pieces that can be enjoyed by pupil and teacher.
