Dear Davide, Having more than one book is usually a good idea with any form of study, because it can give you a wider picture. All the ones you mention have much to offer.
The French Lute Society have published a lute tutor written by Pascale Boquet. It doesn't have the same appearance as the ones you mention. It looks scruffy, with badly photocopied music and poorly reproduced pictures, yet it contains a wealth of material, and I think it is very good. She includes a lot of material for the early stages of learning, which is well structured, and doesn't press the student too quickly into trying to play pieces which are too hard. The downside, apart from its appearance, is that she doesn't say which notes she has changed from the original, which can be misleading. Newsidler's Wascha mesa, for example, is tacitly re-written, with bars missing, and this phrase |\ |\ |\ | | | _________________________ __d_____d__c___d___d___|_ _____d_________d___d___|_ __a____________a_______|_ _______________________|_ _______________________|_ unaccountably changed to |\ |\ |\ | | | _________________________ __d_____a__c___d___d___|_ _____d_________d___d___|_ __a____________a_______|_ _______________________|_ _______________________|_ each time. In spite of those cavils, I think it is a book well worth having. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Davide Bioccoli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 9:45 AM Subject: [LUTE] lute tutor books > Waht's the best lute tutor book to start with? > I want to buy a method to have a support beside the work i do with my > teacher,but I've seen the Lundgren,the Damiani and obvoiously that of > Diana Poulton. > so what to choose? > Any advice would be welcomed..... > thank you all > Davide To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
