Diana Poulton has drawn on her many years of studying the repertoire and teaching the lute to write this A Tutor for the Renaissance Lute, the most comprehensive method of lute playing based on Renaissance foundations.  The method will be equally useful for self-taught students, for whom it provides clear instructions for mastering the technique of the lute, presented in order of difficulty, and for teachers (the book offers around seventy-five pieces), who can develop the technique and progress of their students according to the difficulty of the pieces. And all lutenists, when studying according to this book, will find that most of the pieces listed are also suitable for expanding their recital repertoire.
