Summary of This Method
A recognized figure in the French mandolin tradition, Edgar Bara offers here an approach that is clear, elegant, and effective, aimed at establishing a reliable technical foundation. The method emphasizes a "singing" style of playing, where the regularity of attack and rhythmic precision directly serve musicality, whether playing mandolin solo, in salon music, or within a popular repertoire.
The progression is built around the fundamentals of plectrum playing, with detailed work on controlled tremolo to achieve a stable, fluid, and expressive sound. The progressive positions guide the student step by step, while targeted exercises reinforce intonation, right-hand/left-hand coordination, and cleanliness in string changes.
You will also find scales and arpeggios, work on slurs (legato) and staccato, as well as application pieces designed to put acquired skills into practice in a musical context. Designed to support progression from beginner to intermediate level, this method provides a relevant foundation for improving accuracy, articulation, and expressiveness on both mandolin and banjo mandolin.
