Level: easy / advanced Format: English / French / German Embouchure building Studies Elementary Intermediate Advanced High register training In the 17th century there were no studies in the modern sense of the word. Of J. S. Bach, however, we know that he wrote pieces of a study nature for his pupils, indeed he made them spend months, and in his own words preferably years, practising exercises for touch at the keyboard, that is, daily finger exercises, on the principle: There is little point in getting fit if you do nothing to stay fit. From this point of view, relating it to our instrument and to the lips, you ought to look at the following embouchure-building studies. They are not intended as warm-ups, although that term is quite appropriate for some of these exercises. Taken together they serve to build the muscles, rather like an athlete's training. Like him, we too must increase our capacity gradually. The muscles and organs involved adapt to the greater workload, but only if the increase proceeds systematically and rationally. Try to complete the full distance of each study, gradually reducing the time, like a long-distance runner. Adding one exercise, or at most three, according to the difficulty, to your daily workload will be enough. You should only start further exercises when you have fully mastered the preceding ones according to the directions in my embouchure method and have reached a satisfactory standard in rhythm and sound. The deliberately simple fingerings make it easier to check the actions of the diaphragm, the lips, and the tongue inside the mouth cavity. Form a mental picture of their movements and compare yourself constantly to an artist whose principle is: There are no secrets, at best some small tricks, which can be learned.

Arrangeur: Alexander L'Estrange. Par LUSHER ELZA / CHRIS. Book 2 is the second piano tutor in the Dogs and Birds series. The Dogs and Birds approach, allows very young children to learn the piano, even before they know the alphabet. The music in Book 2 is suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 7. The method uses animal symbols to represent the musical notes, for example Cat is C and Dog is D. The animal names are monosyllabic and children are encouraged to sing the names as they play the tunes on the piano or keyboard. This helps children develop musicality and their inner ear. This blank notes edition of the book is recommended for ages 6 and 7. An animal notes edition of the book is also available, for ages 4 to 6, which is the same as this book, but with animal symbols printed in the notes, which aid the children in remembering the musical notation. Book 2 contains full colour illustrations throughout, which are an important stimulus for the child. Discussing the illustrations is an essential part of the learning process and a few words describe each picture. In book 2 finger numbers are introduced. At this stage the children already know the positions of the notes on the keyboard and the staves by reference to the animal names. Here the children learn harder pieces, but the rhythm is still relatively simple. The book also contains many finger exercises as preparation for the pieces. The Dogs and Birds series also contains a book of Nursery Rhymes and Famous Melodies, which is at a level between books 1 and 2./ Méthode / Piano

Sébastien Troendlé, pianiste et professeur, a élaboré cette méthode de Boogie-Woogie pour aider les élèves à travailler ce style de musique. Conseils techniques, morceaux sur-mesure, progression maîtrisée permettent de comprendre comment se construit cette musique. Vous mettez en place la rythmique si particulière au Boogie, sans vous crisper. Puis les petites notes ajoutées à la mélodie feront sonner les morceaux. Des vidéos disponibles sur le site de www.sebastientroendle.com proposent de travailler et d'entendre les morceaux en versions lente et normale. Le 2e volume propose les morceaux dans des versions plus avancées, plus abouties. Presse L'auteur s'adresse au pianiste autodidacte débutant qui souhaite s'initier au Boogie-Woogie. Bien sûr, les notions de bases en solfège sont quand même requises, mais la méthode est d'une grande clarté et procède acquis par acquis avec un grand sens pédagogique. Chaque étape est expliquée en détail et la progression est remarquablement graduée. Très prochainement des vidéos de travail seront présentées sur le site de l'auteur : www.sebastientroendle.com L'Education Musicale, n°106 (sept. 2016) Entretien Une nouvelle méthode de Boogie-Woogie Après avoir fait revivre l'âme et l'histoire du boogie-woogie sur scène et au disque, le pianiste Sébastien Troendlé a imaginé une méthode consacrée à ce genre musical. Elle sort, ces jours-ci, aux éditions Lemoine. Quelles sont les origines du boogie-woogie ? C'est le blues, même si celui-ci s'exprime davantage à la guitare et par le chant. Ce style est apparu dans les Barrelhouses, ces ghettos noirs bordant le Mississippi. Cela explique que le boogie-woogie des origines ne tient pas compte de la qualité du piano : cette musique sonne naturellement, si le groove est préservé. En 1928, le pianiste américain Clarence Pinetop Smith (1904-1929) enregistra son célèbre Pinetop's Boogie Woogíe dont le nom s'imposa. Puis, au fil des décennies, ce genre devint plus commercial face au jazz qui, lui, s'imposa. Vous avez réalisé cette méthode. Un simple recueil de pièces n'aurait-il pas suf? ? Jusqu'à présent, on disposait soit de morceaux très simplifiés, agréables, mais musicalement limités, soit de quelques pièces originales réellement dificiles. J'ai donc composé des morceaux que j'ai déclinés en quatre niveaux progressifs, qui correspondent à la classification du répertoire classique. Par exemple, le premier niveau s'adresse aux pianistes qui savent lire les notes et ont une petite aisance au piano. L'écriture rythmique est simplifiée et je valorise la mélodie principale. Les niveaux suivants deviennent de plus en plus complexes et on comprend que cette musique possède certaines clés. ll faut notamment restituer des effets de glissés. Cette écriture comporte aussi quelques risques. En effet, lorsqu'on maîtrise bien la mécanique du morceau, on en oublie le principal, c'est-à-dire la mélodie. Or, le boogie, c'est déjà du blues. Les interprètes qui jouent essentiellement des oeuvres classiques tireront profit de ce répertoire. Ils gagneront une meilleure stabilité rythmique et porteront une attention particulière aux lignes mélodiques de la main droite. Par ailleurs, j'ai réalisé des vidéos - gratuites et disponibles sur internet - de toutes les pièces présentées. Quelle serait la descendance du boogie-woogie, aujourd'hui ? C'est un répertoire qui vit toujours et ne s'est pas refermé sur son patrimoine, même s'il y a de fervents défenseurs de tel ou tel style de boogie. Cette musique supporte mal la simplification à outrance. On ne peut donc que l'enrichir, à partir dictées musicales qui sont nées... il y a un siècle !
