Summary of This Method
Designed to support beginner pianists in acquiring fundamentals, Allures offers a progressive journey through 20 short melodies of 8 measures. The idea is simple and very effective: by repeating a brief motif, the student can focus on a precise technical gesture (position, mobility, articulation) while maintaining a clear musical goal. Each miniature thus becomes an exercise disguised as a small repertoire piece, accessible and rewarding.
The guiding theme of animals provides a true pedagogical dimension: the suggested image helps to find the right sensation at the keyboard and to understand the "particularity" of the gesture to be worked on. This approach encourages listening, intention, and quality of touch, while avoiding mechanical practice. It notably covers essential basics such as staccato playing and wrist rotation, indispensable for gaining ease and flexibility from the first years.
The collection includes: The Hedgehog, The Mosquito, The Butterfly, The Goldfish, The Wolf, The Bear, The Cat, The Fawn, The Marmot, The Peacock, The Dolphin, The Hamster, The Bee, The Foal, The Hen and the Rooster, The Dog, The Doe, The Kitten, The Duck, The Squirrel. So many little sound scenes that allow regular practice, vary technical objectives, and develop natural musicality, session after session.
