ROLAND DYENS'S CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING APPROACH: THE PIÈCÉTUDE CONCEPT
Abstract
This study aims to pedagogically analyze the first ten piécétudes from Roland Dyens’s Les 100 de Roland Dyens album. Based on a constructivist learning approach, document analysis was employed to explore how Dyens’s innovative piécétude concept—combining technical exercises with musical pieces—contributes to guitar education and supports students' musical development. The term piécétude eliminates the distinction between technical studies and musical works, allowing students to enhance their technical skills within a musical context. Each piece was examined under the categories of general characteristics, suggestions for teachers and students, and difficulty level. The findings demonstrate that Dyens’s piécétudes transform technical practice from a monotonous routine into an artistic and creative experience. The integration of diverse musical styles enables students to explore various timbres, improve their interpretative abilities, and develop a deeper understanding of musical expression. By merging technical and musical elements, these works provide learners with an engaging and holistic educational resource. This study underscores the significance of constructivist approaches in guitar pedagogy, emphasizing how piécétudes serve as effective tools that simultaneously foster both technical proficiency and musical artistry.
