Fran cis Bebey est né à Douala en juillet 1929, dans une grande famille où son père, pasteur, luttait pour nourrir ses enfants. Mais Francis a eu l'opportunité d'aller à l'école. Admirant son frère aîné, Marcel Eyidi Bebey, il s'est éduqué, s'est distingué, et a finalement reçu une bourse pour passer son baccalauréat en France.
Nous approchions de la fin des années 1950 lorsqu'il est arrivé à La Rochelle. Plus que jamais, dans cette France où les Africains étaient regardés avec curiosité, condescendance ou dédain, Francis s'appuyait sur ses ressources intellectuelles. Travailleur assidu, il a obtenu son baccalauréat, puis s'est installé à Paris où il a commencé des études d'anglais à la Sorbonne. Un jour, il a su ce qui l'attirait vraiment : il voulait faire de la radio. Francis a appris son métier en France et aux �tats-Unis.
Après avoir travaillé quelques années comme reporter, il a été embauché en 1961 en tant que fonctionnaire international au Département de l'information de l'UNESCO.
Parallèle ment, Francis a toujours été attiré par la création musicale. Son activité diurne très sérieuse ne l'empêchait pas de fréquenter les clubs de jazz le soir. � Paris, le jazz, la musique à la mode à cette époque, mais aussi la rumba et la salsa l'attiraient. Il collectionnait les disques et assistait à de nombreux concerts. Avec son complice Manu Dibango, Francis montait sur scène et jouait de la musique.
Francis aimait la musique classique depuis son enfance. Il avait grandi en écoutant les cantates et les oratorios de Bach ou Handel que son père chantait au temple. Il s'est passionné pour la guitare, impressionné par les maîtres espagnols et sud-américains, et a décidé d'apprendre à jouer de l'instrument lui-même.
Il a commencé à composer des pièces pour guitare, mêlant les diverses influences qui le traversaient avec la musique traditionnelle africaine qu'il portait en lui depuis son enfance. Son approche a captivé le directeur du Centre culturel américain (alors situé dans le quartier de Saint-Germain à Paris), qui lui a offert l'opportunité de se produire devant un public. Francis y a donné son premier récital de guitare (1963) devant un public hypnotisé. Son premier album solo est sorti peu de temps après.
Progressivem ent, Francis est devenu reconnu comme musicien et compositeur. Plusieurs albums de l'ambassadeur africain de la guitare, comme le décrivait la presse, sont sortis. Il a également écrit des livres, au point que sa carrière artistique est devenue difficile à concilier avec sa carrière de fonctionnaire. En 1974, même s'il était devenu le directeur général chargé de la musique à l'UNESCO, il a fait le saut audacieux et a démissionné de cette prestigieuse institution pour se consacrer aux trois activités qui l'intéressaient : la musique, la littérature et le journalisme.
Il a exploré le patrimoine musical traditionnel du continent africain, notamment à travers le piano à pouce sanza et la musique polyphonique des pygmées d'Afrique centrale, ou en chantant dans sa langue maternelle et en composant des chansons humoristiques en français !
Le succès a suivi. Francis Bebey a parcouru le monde : de la France au Brésil, du Cameroun à la Suède, de l'Allemagne aux Caraïbes, ou du Maroc au Japon... la liste des pays où il a été invité à se produire, à donner des conférences ou à rencontrer des lecteurs est très longue. En plus de la reconnaissance publique, il bénéficiait de la reconnaissance de ses collègues musiciens, tels que le guitariste John Williams ou le Vénézuélien Antonio Lauro, qui l'ont invité à faire partie du jury d'un concours de guitare classique à Caracas.
Sa vie était le voyage d'un pionnier africain, un homme enraciné dans son patrimoine culturel et portant un message de partage et d'espoir pour le monde. Son originalité continue de résonner dans le monde entier depuis son décès à la fin du mois de mai 2001.

Francis Bebey was born in Douala in July 1929, into a large family where his father, a pastor, struggled to feed his children. But Francis had the opportunity to go to school. Admiring his elder brother, Marcel Eyidi Bebey, he educated himself, distinguished himself, and eventually received a scholarship to go and take his baccalaureate in France.
We approached the end of the 1950s when he arrived in La Rochelle. More than ever, in this France where Africans were looked at with curiosity, condescension, or disdain, Francis relied on his intellectual resources. A diligent worker, he obtained his Baccalaureate, then moved to Paris where he started English studies at the Sorbonne. One day, he knew what truly attracted him: he wanted to do radio. Francis learned his craft in France and in the USA.
After working for a few years as a reporter, he was hired in 1961 as an international civil servant in the UNESCO Information Department.
In parallel, Francis had always been drawn to musical creation. His very serious daytime activity didnâ??t prevent him from frequenting jazz clubs in the evenings. In Paris, the Jazz, the trendy music of that time, but also rumba and salsa attracted him. He collected records and attended numerous concerts. With his accomplice Manu Dibango, Francis took the stage and played music.
Francis liked classical music since his childhood. He grew up listening to the cantatas and oratorios of Bach or Handel that his father had sung in the temple. He became passionate about the guitar, impressed by the Spanish and South American masters, and decided to learn to strum the instrument himself.
He started composing guitar pieces, blending the various influences that flow through him with the traditional African music he had carried within since childhood. His approach captivated the director of the American Cultural Center (then located in the Saint-Germain neighborhood of Paris), who offered him the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. Francis gave his first guitar recital there (1963) in front of a mesmerized audience. His first solo album was released shortly thereafter.
Gradually, Francis became recognized as a musician and composer. Several albums of the African guitar ambassador, as described by the press, were released. He also wrote books, to the point that his artistic career became challenging to reconcile with his career as a civil servant. In 1974, even though he had become the General Manager in charge of music at UNESCO, he took the bold leap and resigned from this prestigious institution to dedicated himself to the three activities that interested him: music, literature, and journalism.
He explored the traditional musical heritage of the African continent, notably through the thumb piano sanza, and the polyphonic music of the Central African pygmies, or singing in his native language and composing humoristic songs in French!
Success followed. Francis Bebey traveled the world: from France to Brazil, Cameroon to Sweden, Germany to the Carribean, or Morocco to Japan... the list of countries where he was invited to perform, gives lectures, or meets readers is very long. In addition to public recognition, he enjoyed the recognition of his fellow musicians, such as guitarist John Williams or Venezuelan Antonio Lauro, who invited him to be a part of the jury for a classical guitar competition in Caracas.
His life was the journey of an African pioneer, a man rooted in his cultural heritage and carrying a message of sharing and hope for the world. His originality continues to vibrate around the world since his passing at the end of May 2001.

The Suzuki Method of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the mother-tongue approach. Now available as Book and CD kit. Titles: Nonesuch * Greensleeves * Packington's Pound * Ghiribizzo (Paganini) * Waltz from Sonata No. 9 (Paganini) * Andantino (Carulli) * Calliope (Lesson 61) (Sagreras) * Etude (Carulli) * Etude (Coste) * Arietta, Theme and Variations (Küffner) * Celeste y Blanco (Ayala).

About Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.

«Come è possibile conciliare il divertimento con l?apprendimento? Le esigenze degli allievi con quelle degli insegnanti?»
In altre parole: «Come si può definire un percorso didattico che sia nello stesso tempo divertente, perché i bambini possano divertirsi a suonare fin dall?inizio; facile, cioè strutturato in modo tale da poter essere usato veramente da tutti, indipendentemente dalle doti musicali naturali o dal tempo disponibile per lo studio; efficace, per superare i classici ostacoli dei principianti (difficoltà di lettura e di comprensione melodico-ritmica dello spartito; difficoltà di collegare ciò che si legge e si conosce all?esecuzione) e per sviluppare quelle prime basi del linguaggio musicale (intonazione, senso ritmico, comprensione armonica, fraseggio), che permetteranno in seguito di affrontare i repertori desiderati?»
Queste sono le classiche domande, che molti insegnanti si pongono. La risposta, che nasce dalla mia ventennale esperienza di insegnante di chitarra in scuole di musica comunali e private, è: «Partendo dalla realtà dell?allievo e lasciandosi guidare dalle sue esigenze musicali in continua evoluzione». Coerentemente con questo postulato, ho iniziato un?attenta osservazione dei miei allievi allo scopo di capire ciò di cui avevano bisogno per cominciare a suonare la chitarra e cercando di intuire, decodificare e concretizzare in musica i loro segnali. Il metodo di ricerca e i risultati ottenuti sono descritti dettagliatamente nelle Note per l?insegnante.

Seguendo la linea già_x001A_ tracciata nei primi due volumi, La chitarra di Dulcita e Pepito 3 conclude un ciclo finalizzato allâ??acquisizione da parte dellâ??allievo di un bagaglio musicale e tecnico di base che gli permetterà, in seguito, di affrontare con apertura e disinvoltura repertori più specifici e di livello più avanzato.
In questo terzo volume la mano sinistra si spinge fino al XII tasto, gli spostamenti della stessa sono più ampi e la scelta dei brani privilegia lo sviluppo della cantabilità_x001A_ e_x001A_delle sfumature espressive parallelamente a una più_x001A_ consapevole esplorazione della tastiera.
Il livello di difficoltà delle musiche è in linea di massima progressivo anche se, di tanto in tanto, qualche brano più_x001A_facile segue volutamente dei brani più_x001A_impegnativi per stemperare la sensazione di percorso _x001A_tutto in salita_x001A__x001A_e permettere_x001A_all_x001 A_allievo di acquisire padronanza dello strumento e sicurezza dei propri mezzi espressivi. Pur restando circoscritte al sistema_x001A_tonale, le sonorità_x001A_ sono piuttosto varie e contengono tocchi di modernità.
Così come avviene nei due volumi di primo e di secondo livello, La chitarra di Dulcita e Pepito 3 contiene anche specifici esercizi di tecnica e molti duetti nei quali le_x001A_due parti presentano livelli_x001A_ di difficoltà perlopiù_x001A_ simili e_x001A_ quindi possono, anzi dovrebbero, essere studiate e suonate entrambe dallâ??allievo.
Paral lelamente allo studio di questo volume,_x001A_è possibile ampliare il repertorio e approfondire la conoscenza dei diversi stili attraverso le antologie della collana Ciao Chitarra!!! dedicate al Rinascimento, al Barocco, al periodo classico-romantico, a quello contemporaneo e alla musica extraeuropea.

Aprà ƒÂ¨s avoir été quelque temps éloigné de la composition classique, j'ai décidé de me lancer un défi et d'écrire un court morceau de guitare par jour. Je l'ai fait pendant un mois et j'ai fini avec une vingtaine de Sketches. L'idée de départ était de réaliser des pièces courtes pour les enfants.
Certaines se sont révélées trop difficiles pour les étudiants et pourraient donc devenir des pièces plus longues à l'avenir. Dâ??autres, je nâ??ai tout simplement pas beaucoup aimé. Au final, j'ai sélectionné les 10 Sketches qui m'ont le plus plu.
Ces 10 morceaux sont destinés à des joueurs de niveau intermédiaire et chacun d'entre eux se concentre sur un aspect technique ou musical.

After being some time away from classical composition I decided to challenge myself and write one short guitar piece daily. I did it for a month and ended up with around 20 Sketches. The original idea was to make short pieces for children.
Some turned out to be too difficult for students, so they might become longer pieces in the future. Some others I just didn't like that much. In the end I selected the 10 Sketches that I liked the most.

These 10 pieces are intended for intermediate level players and each of them focuses on a technical or musical aspect.

ISBN 9790260108776. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Illustrations: Nemeckova, Jitka.

This children’s album by renowned Czech composer-guitarist Lukáš Sommer reflects the latest trends in playing and teaching the guitar. It is suitable for the first three years of lessons. Some of the pieces have even been performed by children and young guitar students at competitions and concerts in Europe.

Each of these little programme pieces is written in a different style with brief explanations of its technical features. Several are composed in an open-ended form that allows players to define the rhythm or to add an accompaniment on open bass strings. In this way the author grants leeway to the learners’ creativity and stimulates their musical imagination.

The pieces are easy to play and the edition comes with attractive illustrations.
