Par . Le nouveau programme de guitare classique RSL vise à prendre en compte les goûts de plus en plus variés des jeunes en intégrant le travail de compositeurs confirmés et émergents, et en se positionnant à l\'avant-garde d\'un vaste et riche patrimoine musical allant de la période baroque à l\'époque contemporaine. Le répertoire se fonde sur quatre principes clés : des compositeurs issus d\'ethnies diverses, la représentation équitable des genres, la reconnaissance de l\'histoire et de la tradition de la pédagogie de la guitare, et la possibilité pour les élèves de se sentir à l\'aise dans l\'étude de la musique dans un environnement populaire et classique. Les recueils RSL Classical Guitar contiennent tout ce dont un élève a besoin pour se préparer à un examen : dix morceaux de répertoire variés de différents compositeurs, des exercices techniques et des exemples de tests de base, notamment la lecture à vue (ou des tests facultatifs d\'improvisation et d\'interprétation), des tests d\'écoute et des questions générales sur la musicalité. / Date parution : 2022-09-14/ Recueil / Guitare

Apart from it being a composition filled with 'special effects' Animal Kingdom contains many educational elements such as playing inswing (triplets feeling) chromatics flutter tonguing gypsy tuning varying keys and of course dynamics and articulation. The melodic lines occur in all four voices as well as in all percussion parts providing each musician with theopportunity to play a solo or to accompany. Highly recommended for your youth band! William Vean is an educational composer. He knows how to musically shape the special elements from our daily lives. His music is therefore veryexpressive containing creative solutions to possible problems. Special ways of playing make his music particularly interesting for the winds but the percussion section is also featured in his special effects. The world of the animalsalways plays on ones imagination. In Animal Kingdom William Vean has portrayed a number of animals in a special manner: Kevin Kangaroo - The jumping character of this animal can be heard in different voices. The swing style alsoemphasizes the characteristic movements of the kangaroo. Playing in swing style can be practised by using scales. Eddy Elephant - For some of his smaller fellow fauna friends this can be quite an ordeal but for Eduard (Eddy for friendsand intimates) it is his daily walk. Baldrick Bat - Baldrick the Bat is a mysterious character. This can be heard in the fast moving valves and keys accompanied by special effects in the percussion section. Curtis Camel - Curtisthe Camel trudges across the desert feeling bored. The idea that the horizon will never change does not affect him anymore. He has accepted his fate. The distinctive tones from the gypsy scale provide the suitable oriental sounds. BettyButterfly - Butterfly Betty elegantly and without worries flutters from flower to flower in the garden. Her motto: Carpe Diem (Seize the Day). Betty is a one-day butterfly. Marvin Monkey - A 'swing' monkey stirs up the feelings. Evenmembers of the orchestra will look like real monkeys. How about your audience? Each part has its own difficulties and challenges. Important in the first part is playing 'in swing' (triplets feeling). This can be practised usingscales. In the second part ensemble playing and balance are important. In Baldrick additional information on the effects that have to be played might be useful. 'New' sounds are of course welcome. Curtis the Camel introduces thegypsy scale. Additional explanation of the use of the scale might be useful. Key changes are interesting in this part. A slight accent on the first beat of the bar will add to the charm of this part. Marvin the Monkey brings back the swingrhythm that was introduced in the first part altern
