Piatti's Violoncello Method is a collection of teaching compositions by various authors such as Duport, Romberg, Dotzauer and Lee. It features brief but highly effective methodic notes. This method is intended to guide students through the initial stages of playing technique, all the way up to early exercises in the fifth, sixth, and seventh positions (in the Tenor Clef). However, students need a basic understanding of music theory to comprehend and utilize this method.

The second book of Piatti's Method for Cello builds upon the first book and features more than 50 exercises. The method covers various aspects of cello playing, including scales and exercises on different positions, such as pizzicato, vibrato, variations of bowing, dotted notes, and synchronization.
