Really good
Had bought another few fiddle/violin books for beginners that perhaps look more fun + modern on the front, but this book by far is the most informative and easy to read. Everything is explained really well and the text and pictures are a deent size to help you read + understand what they are trying to teach - highly recommended!

Great book
This is a great book for kids who are beginners. It is really well written and my daughter is finding it really helpful with her violin. She likes that it tell you how to do thing like a biw hold and also has picutres that show you. Would defently recommend.

Great fun.
This book is exactly what I wanted being a beginner learning to play a musical instrument. It is clearly set out and gradually introduces playing the instrument in easy to follow steps with the musical exercises. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning to play a violin.

Great Book for beginners
I bought this for my son, as he has started learning Violin at school, this was recommended by his music teacher. I did not know that the book will be posted from US and it took long to deliver, apart from that there is no issues, its a great book, essential for a beginner. Recommended

wish I'd found book one last year cos this year I'd be well ahead of myself.
i wore my headphones and played along with all the excercises. I've beem taking private lessons for two years. O my, I've got a great deal of work to do but it is abfab playing along and learning where i've been going wrong so I can practise out my bad habits. This is great and my teacher is amazed at my sudden progress. Try and record yourself and enjoy hearing your own mistakes/progress. Above all have FUN with this.

Beginner Violinist Who Is Most Impressed
I have just started playing the violin. I am self-taught, but in the 3 weeks since I began, with this book, I feel like I have made sure but steady progress. My family thinks so too as they no longer feel the need to leave the house when I start playing. A superb book that lays a solid foundation and I would recommend to others.

A nice place to start
A nice place to start. Finally got to grips with at least how to begin reading sheet music. I need to focus a bit more but that isn't the books fault. Good songs, certainly feel a sense of accomplishment when you get them right. Could only be better if it came with a free metronome.

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.

Unfortunately, although the book is not used (that's why one star) the code in it is still used by someone else! Disappointed.. However keeping it since I already had access to the content since I got Viola volume 1 as well :) Otherwise, shipped so fast which is great.
