Summary of This Method
Designed to build solid technical and musical foundations, this baroque lute method aims for a clear goal: to enable as many people as possible to express themselves musically, regardless of their starting level. It is intended both for those who have never played an instrument and for experienced musicians (notably guitarists) wishing to understand the specificities of the baroque lute, its touch, its sound, and its compositional logic.
The first part lays the necessary foundations to read and understand lute music: reminders of Western music theory and an introduction to tablature, an essential notation for approaching the historical repertoire. This base is enriched by a lexicon of instrumental pieces and by biographies of numerous composers associated with the baroque lute with 11 and 13 courses, in order to place the practice in its stylistic context.
The second part focuses on the essentials: technique and sound production. A detailed chapter, illustrated with photos, accompanies the key steps to understand the gesture, setup, and sonic universe of the instrument. The method then offers 21 progressive exercises : you start with simple melodic lines, then add the basses, before gradually approaching ornaments, essential to the baroque style.
The third part gathers a vast corpus of about 250 pieces for baroque lute with 11 and 13 courses, divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The pieces are organized by keys and by genres/titles, with a deliberately limited choice of keys to help the beginning lutenist focus on the essentials (playing, musicality, tuning stability) without getting lost in tuning constraints or prematurely complex pieces. A method also designed for those who do not have easy access to a teacher, and for teachers seeking a structured and rich material support.
