As someone who has recently used this book, I can confidently say that it provides a solid foundation for learning the violin. This book's varied exercises and deliberate pacing are what make it so impressive. The approach ensures that students feel at ease and confident as they advance by starting with the fundamentals and progressively introducing more difficult ideas. Familiar songs are incorporated with exercises that have been particularly created to keep pupils interested and to enhance the learning experience. I like how the book strikes a mix between technical exercises and musical compositions, assisting students in honing both their musical interpretation and playing abilities. Complete musicianship is emphasized throughout the series, and this book is no exception. It has sections on history, cross-curricular activities, and music theory, all of which I think are helpful for producing artists who are well-rounded. Another fantastic feature are the Performance Spotlights, which provide students an enjoyable and encouraging platform to present what they've learned.

Great music selection overall and has been used for my school's orchestra for over 20 years already.

Der Geigenlehrer meiner Tochter hat dieses Buch für den Unterricht empfohlen, weil es für die Eltern Erläuterungen zu den einzelnen Schritten gibt. Die Kinder können es ja nicht immer so kommunizieren, dass man sicher sein kann, die richtige Haltung zu üben. Wir kommen gut damit zurecht, die beiligende CD ist auch toll, das Üben geht damit sehr gut. Ich kann das Heft empfehlen.

Perfect for beginners as it gradually builds skill. Love the online resources that the book comes with, this is a big help.

I have to admit I bought myself this book, a violin, all the accessories and sat down with some youtube videos once or twice instead, for some silly reason, then never bothered to pick it up again for weeks. Tuning is a faff, finding the time is hard (you get the gist). This weekend I have finally had the "aha" moment and it's because I turned to this book and got hooked. I can already play 8 notes (using two strings) pretty confidently, which to me is huge progress, and am on exercise 60 something in the book. That is probably because unlike an excellent student I do like to plough through at a silly speed, but you know what - that's better than not playing the instrument in my eyes. The book teaches you how to hold your bow and violin, how to read music note by note, how to learn to bow up or down, how to leave a pause when needed, how to read a quaver or semi quaver (handy if you're new to all this). But it also gets into teaching you different notes quickly, which I really like about it. Slightly bizarrely the CD covers up to track 71 or 72 whereas there are 195 tracks in the book, I have emailed the publisher to work out how I can access the other tracks as they can help you understand what you are aiming for (but aren't totally essential). It may be that if you buy a new copy, unlike myself, you get all the tracks on CDs but in my case atleast only 1 arrived and a previous owner has annotated in the book that you need to download after that point so I am guessing it just doesn't come with the other tracks on CDs. I learned violin for 3 or so years from 7-10 or 11, and am now 28. I wasn't very good as a child and am certainly learning pretty much from 0. Even holding the instrument is a totally new feeling to me. I have however read music before but I think this book would have been a very good start even if I hadn't.

Llego Justo lo que se pidió. Buen libro
