Par HUTEAU ALAIN. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux 'xylophonistes en herbe'. Alain Huteau leur propose d'une façon amusante et très progressive le travail technique de base indispensable à une bonne connaissance du clavier. Le grand mérite d'Alain Huteau est d'avoir eu comme principal souci de s'adapter aux besoins des débutants tout en primant l'efficacité. Il y est pleinement parvenu grâce à un langage simple et par le biais d'exercices courts suivis de petits morceaux récréatifs reprenant les difficultés précédemment rencontrées. J'espère qu'en utilisant ce manuel, de nombreux enseignants feront ainsi découvrir et partager leur plaisir de jouer du xylophone.
