School (music education)
A school (eng .: method ) is in the instrumental pedagogical sense a kind of textbook for a specific musical instrument or a selected sub-problem of instrumental playing.
A school usually contains fingering tables or fingerings , tablatures, etc., scales as well as numerous different exercises , sometimes also simple etudes , in different keys , arranged according to increasing degree of difficulty (= in methodical progression ) or on certain aspects such as fluency, rhythm , dynamics , Articulation and the like. In addition, there are occasional lecture pieces, also with accompanying voices.
The classic instrumental school is less intended for self-study than as a textbook for instrumental lessons. In-depth explanations, for example about the basics or certain playing techniques, can only be found in special ( self-taught ) schools (“self-study book”).
Some schools are in their difficulty or their presentation specifically on certain Lerner Skill - or stages of development tailored. A "complete" school, often in several volumes, should, however, accompany the learner through to advanced playing on his instrument.
Schools of certain authors are sometimes regarded as standard works (with regional and cultural differences) and are sometimes published by different publishers and in different (new) arrangements .
