Methode Progressive-An educationalist of renown Viola player Valérie Bime-Apparailly (born in 1962 in Bordeaux) is the author of numerous beginner methods for string instruments that have met with unflagging success. The second volume of the series Je Débute L’Alto once again takes up the challenge of the first collection: to combine precision with the pleasure of playing. To do this each chapter starts with a short sequence of exercises enabling pupils to approach the pieces with serenity and concentration. Reduced to their simplest expression the theoretical explanations are accompanied by sketches that enhance their clarity. Thealbum comes with a playback CD containing recordings of the different pieces. A relaxed eclecticism runs through the work: illustrious classics such as the Habanera from Carmen or the Variations sur “Ah ! Vous dirai-je Maman” (“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”) by Mozart can be found alongside Un éléphant ça trompe énormément and Rock’n’roll des Gallinacés. Education is an art form.

The Viola First Steps collection is divided into four volumes and is aimed at young violists who want to start learning the instrument together with musical language and theory. Each book is divided into different teaching sections every one containing the musical language necessary for exercises and works. Alongside the exercises this volume contains popular songs pieces from classical authors in different periods and cultural context - consisting of quotations anecdotes relating to the Viola and information on the origin of the instrument composers and curiosities . Beside technique and theory this book will help violists to developtheir rhythm skills prepare for auditions and more. The MP3 CD is fundamental to the method and will help students to achieve the objectives in each section. Each song is recorded in three different ways. The first track is the complete song accompanied by another instrument with a slow tempo. The second track is the same piece with its real tempo. The third track is only the accompaniment so that the student can play along. Francisco Serra studied Viola and Chamber music at the Conservatory of \'Oscar Esplá\' in Alicante Spain.
