Par MAZE PHILIPPE. Soyons clair dès le départ... On n\'apprend pas la musique à coup de méthodes, de traités, de livres et ... \'d\'Inventions\' (même si celles composées par le génial J-S. Bach dépassent de très loin le simple aspect pédagogique). Il faut en effet l\'aide bienveillante et attentive d\'un professeur, lui-même formé et rompu aux disciplines qu\'il enseigne. Il faut également une pratique patiente et humble qui n\'hésite pas à se remettre en question... Comment faire ' : Ce recueil part d\'exercices simples, avec ou sans paroles, pour aboutir à des pièces élaborées, en tentant de parcourir beaucoup d\'aspects que peuvent rencontrer les futurs chefs de choeur, les chefs plus confirmés ainsi que les choeurs désireux de se perfectionner sur tel ou tel paramètre. Pas de \'recettes\' donc ! Seulement une aide pour aller plus loin, toujours plus loin, sans oublier le principal : la musique !/ Etude / Choeur
