A Few Words About This Book

Learning the violin requires a structured and systematic approach. Le Violon, written by Mathieu Crickboom, is one of the most renowned and meticulously designed violin methods available. This five-volume series, authored by the distinguished professor of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, has been widely used by teachers and students across the world as a fundamental resource for violin education.

In this revised edition, I, Amir Hossein Taei, have carefully reviewed and re-edited this invaluable work. Beyond textual and technical refinements, the most significant addition to this edition is the inclusion of piano accompaniment for the duet pieces. This enhancement not only enriches the student’s learning experience but also fosters the development of ensemble playing from the early stages of training.

Why Is This Book an Ideal Choice for Learning the Violin?

• A structured and progressive teaching approach: Each lesson is meticulously arranged to help students gradually acquire the necessary skills.
• Comprehensive attention to all aspects of violin playing: From fundamental techniques to advanced bowing and fingering details, every essential element is thoroughly covered.
• Addition of piano accompaniment for etudes and musical pieces: This feature enhances the musicality of the exercises and improves the student’s aural perception.
• Professional revision and refinement: This edition has been carefully edited to provide a more effective and engaging learning experience.

Since this book is not a self-study method, it is strongly recommended that students learn it under the guidance of an experienced violin 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 violin students and musicians on their journey toward mastery.
