Re: Is Barret Obsolete?

Oh my, I'm not even sure what to say about this thread, other than I can see Marcel Tabuteau, John Mack, and John de Lancie rolling in their graves already!

I think those who studied the Barret cover to cover from a 1st generation Tabuteau student certainly have a way about bringing the book alive.

Like any other music, the Barret can be as musical or as boring as you want to make it. Finding a good teacher who knows the book really really well is probably when you begin to see the value of Barret, and since it's been used by some of the finest teachers in the United States for several generations (I can't comment about other countries) the traditions of each etude have been passed along. I think that's why it's been such a standard; it's been taught, and taught well, for so long while other methods haven't been used as exhaustively.

I think before you pass judgement on such a tool, it's worth studying with someone who has studied the book cover to cover with MT, JM, or JdL.
