pour piano. Par LENS NICHOLAS. The Belgian composer Nicholas Lens presents extremely varied etudes, exercises and simple phrases with wonderfully telling titles from poetry and everyday world for children and adults. For the most part the studies are tonal and simple and have no constructed line. They are not based on any educational concept but leave the musical dramatization to the pupils and teachers: 'Notes and rhythms are just notes and rhythms, they do not have that many rules, they do not have any pretension, they are just tools for you to use to express what you want to share'. / Date parution : 2016-11-20/ Etude / Piano

Twenty-Four Contemporary Pieces For Solo Piano includes a diverse selection of works from 16 of the world's leading composers. The 24 pieces featured in this collection represent the best of contemporary classical Piano music being composed today. As well as being a compilation of fantastically enjoyable compositions, the book also features interesting notes by each composer to accompany their music.These Contemporary Pieces For Solo Piano are at once accessible and musically inspiring, featuring some of the most talented and respected composers and their most definitive contributions to Piano music. Perhaps the biggest name included here is that of Ludovico Einaudi, whose wide reputation is a result of his masterful ability to pull at heartstrings, exemplified in his works Berlin Song, The Earth Prelude and Waterways, all of which are included here. Other giants of contemporary classical music are included in the collection, names like Philip Glass (Etude #11), Max Richter (Horizon Variations and Vladimir's Blues) and Hauschka, whose Can You Dance For Me, Early In The Park and Until It's Dawn perfectly encapsulate the emotive characteristics of all the pieces in this book. Composers like Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Dustin O'Halloran and Jóhann Jóhannsson evolved from a similar school that favours building atmosphere with hypnotic arpeggiation in composition, explaining why these composers are often used to great effect in film soundtracks.Other inclusions in Twenty-Four Contemporary Pieces For Solo Piano are simply too important to have left out, namely Nico Muhly's Hudson Cycle, two pieces by Joby Talbot as well as Tarik O'Regan's Lines Of Desire. The beauty of the songs here speak for themselves, but the composers have also written brief notes that preface each of the pieces, giving fascinating insight into either the composition itself or particular playing notes. Featuring some of the best compositions by the most respected and creative musicians writing today, the Twenty-Four Contemporary Pieces For Solo Piano within this collection are an exciting prospect for any pianist looking for some wonderfully inspiring music to learn and play. / Piano

Playing on the Changes features 13 jazz etudes through the various chord qualities found in standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords (Mixolydian, altered dominant, and half-whole diminished), minor ii (flat-5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all of the above. Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using when improvising through the chord changes. Using the TNT 2 software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The amazing TNT 2 software allows you to slow down the tempo, too! / Instruments En Mib

Apprendre à jouer du piano c'est apprendre à jouer avec le piano.

Pianolude aborde des aspects de l'enseignement du piano rarement évoqués côte à côte dans un même recueil: intégrer la musique de notre temps à l'enseignement traditionnel. Parallèlement à l'apprentissage traditionnel et progressif du jeu pianistique, Pianolude convie les enfants à jouer avec l'ensemble des ressources sonores de l'instrument.
Le CD inclus dans l'ouvrage propose l'interprétation de l'ensemble du répertoire et fournit des exemples de réalisation des activités de création.




Presse : Apprendre à jouer du piano c'est apprendre à jouer avec le piano.

A lui seul, le titre de ce recueil est tout un programme. Pianolude associe l'instrument et le jeu, mêlant les aspects les plus traditionnels de l'apprentissage pianistique à une exploration ludique de l'instrument.

Comme un livre d'images. Sa présentation, très esthétique, regorge d'illustrations poétiques et humoristiques dignes des plus jolis albums pour enfants. Le graphisme clair, les caractères en lettres attachées, le papier légèrement glacé et la reliure à spirales en font un album agréable à feuilleter sur lequel on s'attarde volontiers. Les premières pages se parcourent comme un livre d'images. On y découvre quelques suggestions de jeu autour du piano. L'élève peut ainsi s'en inspirer pour explorer et découvrir de lui-même tout un monde sonore: timbres, intensités, durées, tessitures, modes de jeu... et s'approprier ainsi ce monstre sonore qu'est le piano.

L'enfant prenant graduellement possession de l'instrument, l'approche de la lecture se fait graduellement à partir du do central, mains alternées. On s'échappe assez vite de l'incontournable do majeur pour explorer des échelles plus colorées. Les notions musicales et solfégiques sont abordées de manière très progressive, associant chaque nouvel élément théorique à l'étude d'une pièce musicale. L'introduction des altérations se fait assez tôt et les mains se déplacent plutôt rapidement sur l'ensemble du clavier par le biais des 8va.

Jouer tout seul ou avec les autres. La plupart des pièces sont présentées avec un accompagnement du professeur - ou d'un élève plus avancé - dont les harmonies, enrichissant les mélodies jouées par l'élève, viennent parfois chatouiller l'oreille de légères dissonances et taquiner l'imaginaire de sonorités nouvelles. De nombreuses pièces sont écrites pour quatre, six ou huit mains. Conçues comme des pièces à géométrie variable, on peut n'en jouer que la partie principale - écrite en grosses notes - ou bien y associer les autres parties en les distribuant à d'autres élèves pour une version plus collective. Ces pièces, plus abordables que les pièces en solo, véritable intermède récréatif dans la progression de l'élève, constituent ainsi un bon outil pour la lecture à vue et la pratique collective.

Tout un monde sonore. Le répertoire très éclectique des pièces de Pianolude est constitué en grande majorité de compositions originales. On y trouve quelques arrangements de chansons du répertoire populaire traditionnel: Au clair de la lune, j'ai perdu mon âne, Ah vous dirai-je maman... quelques petites pièces un peu jazzy: New Orleans Parade, Comme un blues, Oh When the saints... D'autres, plus exotiques, comme La petite maison russe ou La poupée chinoise, invitent doucement au voyage musical.

Mais la plus grande originalité de cette méthode réside dans l'introduction d'un langage plus contemporain, incluant les codages non traditionnels et des modes de jeux spécifiques (clusters, glissandi, notes muettes, séquences aléatoires, écriture graphique. jeu dans les cordes...), mettant la musique contemporaine à la portée des plus réfractaires. La première pièce, intitulée En colère, écrite dans une alternance de notes traditionnelles (deux notes autour du do central), de clusters et de petites séquences d'improvisation guidées, regorge d'indications expressives: en colère, en se calmant, grosse colère, ...énorme colère, ...très calme. Sans efforts considérables et par le biais des humeurs et de leurs contrastes, l'élève aborde les rudiments du codage musical: aigu/grave, bas/haut, droite/gauche, fort/doux, long/court... Parmi les autres pièces utilisant un langage contemporain, on trouve l'irrésistible Chant des étoiles, qui recueille un succès certain auprès des élèves - et de leurs parents - mêlant clusters, notes aléatoires, glissando dans une ambiance délicieusement céleste, scintillante, toute faite de résonances entremêlées. Les ambiances proposées à travers ces courtes pièces rejoignent l'imaginaire de l'élève et permettent par ce biais de développer son sens de l'écoute et d'accroître sensiblement sa palette sonore.

Un CD, inclus dans l'ouvrage, présente l'enregistrement de la plupart des pièces de la méthode, interprétées sur un vrai piano avec beaucoup de finesse et de musicalité, ainsi que des exemples de réalisation de petites créations effectuées par des enfants. Celles-ci constituent des pistes pour l'improvisation et, pourquoi pas, pour l'élaboration d'un langage plus personnel.

Pédagogie du piano contemporain ou pédagogie contemporaine du piano? Cette méthode est le résultat d'une réflexion collective des auteurs, inspirée par l'expérience sur le terrain d'une pédagogie de la musique contemporaine. Sans que celle-ci soit assénée manière obsessive, Pianolude s'en inspire pour éveiller la curiosité de l'élève pour des sonorités moins conventionnelles que la plupart de celles des méthodes plus traditionnelles. Si cet ouvrage peut paraître au premier abord un peu dispendieux, la qualité de sa présentation et la richesse de son contenu dépassent de loin le prix qu'il en coûte.


Le choix d'une méthode est souvent difficile, très personnel et toujours subjectif. On choisit une méthode parce qu'elle adhère aux principes de notre enseignement, qu'elle répond aux besoins du moment et traduit un certain état d'esprit. À moins qu'il ne s'agisse d'un état d'âme. On s'y essaye comme on essaye un nouveau vêtement. Avec le temps, on s'y sent parfois un peu à l'étroit, un peu mal à l'aise. Alors on en change. Pour avoir essayé Pianolude, l'avoir testé, expérimenté, pratiqué depuis sa parution en 2002 avec la plupart de mes élèves débutants, je peux dire que j'ai trouvé là vêtement à ma taille.

En résumé, c'est un support riche et éclectique pour la première année d étude du piano. À l'aide de son vaste choix de pièces, le professeur peut établir son propre parcours, en fonction de ses propres goûts et de ceux de ses élèves. Son approche ludique favorise la recherche et la créativité tout en intégrant une certaine exigence musicale et en incitant à une écoute active et à un jeu expressif.

Un petit avertissement cependant: certains jeux ou pièces musicales requièrent nécessairement l'utilisation d'un vrai piano (qui vibre et résonne de toutes ses cordes). / Méthodes and Etudes Instrumentales / Partition / Barkeshli, Pari / Chartreux, Annick / Guérin-Descouturelle, Valérie / Joste, Martine

Designed for intermediate guitarists, these twelve, completely original studies will help improve your technique and range by really focusing on certain aspects of your playing, such as fingering, rhythm and picking. These are challenging pieces, but if incorporated into a practice routine, they'll be hugely beneficial, as well as simply enjoyable to play. Author and composer Kris Lennox feels strongly about the etudes included in this collection of solo Guitar sheet music, and this is evident in his extensive written introductions, justifications and guidance notes for each study. He has noticed that the majority of electric guitarists can play the rhythm or lead parts of songs, while the electric Guitar is rarely thought of as its own solo instrument. With Etudes For Electric Guitar, Lennox hopes to change this, composing pieces that sound great, while also being technically challenging and entirely worthy of your time. You won't need any special equipment, just a standard electric Guitar and a willingness to learn and improve. The extensive notes give you essential tips on working through each study, making sure they are as beneficial as possible.Featuring twelve etudes, all in different keys, the notes are included in standard notation and tablature, so you don't have to know how to read music. There are also some fingering suggestions, so for particular stretches or complex passages, you can get help on where to put your fingers! The accompanying download card also gives you instant online access to studio-quality demonstrations, recorded by Kris Lennox himself, so you can hear exactly how each etude should sound. If you're feeling brave enough, you could attempt to play along with Lennox's recording, but be sure to start slowly! This collection of Etudes For Electric Guitar is a fantastic opportunity to play a set of twelve expertly-composed studies for solo Electric Guitar, the likes of which are difficult to find among today's PVG or tab songbooks. To improve your playing, or just to expand your repertoire beyond simple songs, Etudes For Electric Guitar by Kris Lennox is a creative collection of pieces that are both enjoyable to play and invaluable to your technique. / Guitare
