Practical due to its small size, with an easily recognizable tone, the mandolin has something to appeal to music lovers or young musicians. Its rich and varied repertoire due to its long history is also one of its assets. However, this instrument remains relatively unknown and the methods for learning it are old or few in number.
Hosanne Collet's Mandolin Method, intended to support students throughout the first cycle, addresses this problem by offering progressive and fun learning. Numerous diagrams, exercises, games and pieces of music run through the work in order to give the musician a solid foundation: some pieces are also taken from ancient methods, folklore, famous nursery rhymes, others have been specially composed for the work.
Finally, Hosanne Collet emphasizes that the student is not just a simple performer by leaving ample room for improvisation and writing in order to develop his artistic and creative abilities in complete autonomy. Supported by her experience as a teacher where pedagogy remains the key word of the work, the author offers us here, through this method, a reference for anyone wishing to get to know this very special instrument that is the mandolin.
