Jehan Alain, Alain Huteau

Rencontre avec le Xylophone

In this book for 'budding xylophonists'. Alain Huteau presents the lessons for acquiring basic technical keyboard skills in an amusing and very progressive way. Alain Huteau has very successfully adapted to the needs of beginners while ensuring that they progress rapidly and surely. He uses simple language and short exorcises followed by small recreational pieces which include all the difficulties so far encountered. I hope that when introducing the xylophone to their students, teachers will be able to use this manual to share and transmit their love of the instrument.Michel Gastaud, Solo percussionist in the Paris Opera House Orchestra, Teacher at the Gagny Music School
