Summary of This Method
First Repertoire for Viola is a collection designed as a musical gateway for the beginning violist. The goal is simple: to offer short, accessible, and varied pieces that immediately inspire the desire to play while reinforcing instrumental fundamentals. Thanks to a selection ranging from Haydn to Humperdinck, and including popular styles such as show tunes and spirituals, the student discovers various sound worlds and develops listening skills, phrasing, and expression.
Divided into three books, these more than 60 progressive pieces accompany step-by-step learning. The difficulty increases gradually, allowing the student to approach reading, intonation, and bow control within a concrete musical context rather than through mere exercises. The repertoire also highlights the viola's unique color: its warm register, depth, and ability to sing with character. An excellent foundation for assembling the first "concert" pieces, working in lessons, and building a solid musical culture from the start.
