Summary of This Method
Written for 2nd and 3rd year viola students, My First Studies, To Play Together for Viola offers a gradual introduction to the "mysteries" of instrumental technique while avoiding the pitfall of studies perceived as austere. Valerie Bime-Apparailly applies her pedagogical insight to a structured path where clarity and a playful aspect encourage student engagement and consistent practice.
The approach is particularly effective: each unit begins with the melody that the young violist must learn, then the technical point to master is clearly indicated. As needed, explanations clarify the reading and interpretation (for example, understanding an indication like Da Capo ), before moving on to the full score. The student plays their line while the accompaniment is entrusted to the teacher, which allows working on intonation, rhythmic stability, and musicality in a truly musical context.
Throughout the pages, the student assimilates fundamental concepts such as slurs, syncopation, appoggiatura, and bowing indications, without losing sight of the essential goal: the joy of playing. An ideal resource for individual lessons, to energize the session through the teacher-student duo, and to establish solid technical habits from the very first years of viola learning.
