A Few Words About This Book
Learning the viola requires a structured and systematic approach. Originally designed for violin, Le Violon by Mathieu Crickboom is one of the most renowned and meticulously crafted string methods. This five-volume series, written by the distinguished professor of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, has been widely used as a fundamental resource for violin education.
In this revised edition, I, Amir Hossein Taei, have meticulously transcribed and adapted this method for viola. Every exercise, étude, and piece has been carefully rewritten to suit the range, technique, and unique characteristics of the viola while preserving the original pedagogical structure. Additionally, piano accompaniment has been added to the duet pieces and musical studies, enhancing the student’s learning experience and fostering ensemble skills from the early stages.

Why Is This Book an Ideal Choice for Learning the Viola?
- A structured and progressive teaching approach: Lessons are arranged systematically to help students gradually develop technical proficiency on the viola.
- Adaptation specifically for viola: The exercises and pieces have been transposed and adjusted to fit the range and technical demands of the instrument.
- Piano accompaniment for études and musical pieces: This feature enhances musicality, develops aural perception, and prepares students for real ensemble playing.
- Professional revision and refinement: This edition ensures an effective, engaging, and structured learning experience tailored for violists.
Since this book is not a self-study method, it is strongly recommended that students learn it under the guidance of an experienced viola instructor. Proper supervision ensures better mastery of fundamental techniques and prevents the development of improper habits in the early stages of learning.
I hope this revised edition serves as a valuable resource for all viola students and musicians on their journey toward mastery
