Par ALLERME JEAN-MARC. En composant et en choisissant ces 24 mélodies réparties sur 2 volumes, j'ai choisi de mettre en scène musicalement la flûte à bec comme on le fait plus souvent pour des instruments qui bénéficient naturellement d'une meilleure cote de popularité. Je souhaitais également que cela soit l'occasion pour chacun de découvrir et d'apprendre cet instrument, de manière progressive et en commençant au tout début, grâce à une grande simplicité mélodique soutenue par une richesse harmonique et orchestrale, dans des styles musicaux variés. De plus, sur le CD, vous trouverez une version accompagnée au piano et une version orchestrée ainsi que les deux playbacks correspondants, permettant de faire, si besoin est, un travail de mise en place et d'interprétation en deux étapes progressives. Dans le livre, la simplicité de l'accompagnement de piano, surmonté de la grille harmonique, autorise le travail en duo sans qu'il soit nécessaire, pour le pianiste, de posséder plus d'une ou deux années de pratique instrumentale. Pour terminer, je dois avouer que ces nouvelles compositions m'ont également permis de mieux apprécier cet instrument doté de qualités insoupçonnées et peut-être pas toujours considéré comme il le devrait. J'espère évidemment qu'il en sera de même pour vous. Jean-Marc Allerme / Niveau : Assez Facile / variété - jazz / Recueil / Flûte à Bec

The best way to learn any instrument is to have lessons from a good experienced teacher. Although happily the number of such teachers is constantly growing the recorder is still frequently taught by enthusiastic but inexperienced teachers and many players start by teaching themselves. This series of books sets out to help learners of all ages in all three situations. Experienced teachers who may choose to disregard much of the text as personal demonstration is always clearer than the written word will find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own method at each stage. The less experienced will benefit from many valuable teaching hints culled fromlong experience and may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple notation. Those learning by themselves - and I started in this way - are urged to work carefully and systematically through the books taking plenty of time to assimilate each point before moving on. For them without the personal model provided by a live teacher it is vitally important to listen as often as possible to fine players in person or on record so that they have in their mind's ear a clear notion of the kind of sound they would like to produce. But however they start I can only wish that all who use these books will derive as much pleasure and musical satisfaction and gain as many lasting and valued friendships as I have through this most subtle delightful and sociable of instruments. (Brian Bonsor) “...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken“ (Oliver James Contact Magazine) Descant Tutors provide a sound-playing technique a mastery of simple notation and contain 570 tunes including concert pieces by Bonsor carols attractive rounds and melodies by 'early music' composers. Clear line drawings greatly assist the pupil making them especially suitable for self-instruction.
