Lemoine Garlej B. / Gonzales J.-F. - Methode De Violon Vol.1

   A good method for learning even on your own. Simple and short pieces so as not to be discouraged, we quickly tackle some pieces known to be able to have a reference, although I would have liked a CD with the authors' songs to be able to listen to them.
   
   The songs are short enough to be able to quickly review the songs already seen at the start of the work session. That does not discourage you from doing some revisions in advance...
   
   Nice drawings which don't ruin anything, blank pages for each chapter with empty scores that I use to write down the page numbers of the songs to find them but which can be used to write down pieces of music. There is room for a teacher to note songs and also a line on the score for the student to be accompanied by someone else, which is not bad.
   
   I think that a small index of the songs at the end with their page number would not be too much to search for them on the internet while listening. Moreover, the references of the pieces are not always precise, especially for composers who have made several pieces named the same, even if you can find your way around by ear. So I would have also liked a small CD with the pieces worked on, especially because I did not find the pieces created by the authors of the book on the internet (which is also a very good initiative on their part to share their compositions with us).
   
   To quibble, I would have liked one or two additional short pieces per chapter to fully familiarize myself with the concept learned.
   
   However, at the end, there are a certain number of pieces that we are supposed to be able to play at the end of the method. And it is a great motivation because they are numerous and varied.
   I think that a summary of the fingerings with the corresponding staves at the end is really missing.
   
   A chapter without the corresponding staves, which is very very annoying (2nd finger 1/2 tone from the 1st), you have to search for yourself and it's long.
   
   In summary, a good method that could be improved a bit in terms of form that is generally super pleasant, airy and well illustrated (I was afraid of an indigestible method, this is not at all the case) but nothing to complain about on the merits even if you are autodidact and don't know anything about it, you manage quickly by taking your time.
