Lemoine Mes Débuts A La Guitare - Kleynjans

Summary of This Method

Designed to build solid foundations from the very first months, this guitar method offers a structured, step-by-step progression while keeping the student motivated through a repertoire specially composed for the targeted level. The pieces are not mere "disguised exercises": they immediately engage the essential reflexes of the beginning guitarist (accuracy of fingerings, rhythmic regularity, articulation, dynamics), with controlled difficulty and musicality at the core of the learning process.

The 42 pieces alternate between solos and duets, a very effective formula for faster and better learning. In solo, the student develops independence and comfort in playing. In duet, they benefit from a stable rhythmic and musical framework: the teacher (or an accompanist) can play the second guitar, which helps establish the tempo, improve listening skills, and understand the overall logic. This approach also fosters the joy of playing "with someone," a valuable motivator for long-term engagement.

Each piece is preceded by a concise presentation and targeted exercises. This preparation allows anticipation of key points (transitions, positions, rhythms, hand coordination) before entering the piece, enabling smoother and more effective practice. The CD, which contains all 42 recordings, becomes a true practice partner: it helps lock in the pulse, stabilize fingerings, verify timing, and build confidence both at home and in lessons.

Ultimately, this method provides a comprehensive support system to accompany guitar learning over several years: a clear progression, concrete objectives, and an adapted repertoire that advances technique while developing musical expression.
