Fiddle Time Joggers + CD: A first book of very easy pieces for violin

A violin teacher recommended this to me. I was a little unsure at first as I was returning to violin as an adult and the book is of course aimed at children. I was pleasantly surprised though as the pieces were fun to learn and being able to play along to the CD really helped. I wish I had something like this when I was younger and learning for the first time. I would recommend this to anyone of any age however if it is for an older child it will not take them long to finish the book so maybe order the fiddle time runners and fiddle time scales 1 book too (well wait to see what you think of this book first but don't do what I did and wait until finishing the book before ordering the next one). I am still waiting on receiving the runners book from amazon so cannot comment on it however the scales 1 book is worth while in my opinion, as after doing the scales exercises I found I could play the pieces in the joggers book better. Fiddle Time Scales 1, revised edition: Pieces, puzzles, scales, and arpeggios

My daughter's violin playing has really taken off since she started working through this book. It contains plenty of tunes in different styles to practise different things, and the addition of the CD with backing tracks is useful both for allowing the beginner to hear what the music should sound like and to provide an accompaniment which makes their playing sound quite accomplised. Violin practice has become fun rather than a chore with this book, so lots of more it takes place, and the playing has improved accordingly. Am looking forward to the time she is ready to move on to the next book in the series. I hope it's as good!

Brilliant!

A good book for beginner violinists. Recommended by my daughter's violin teacher, along with stepping stones and a really fun theory book - Theory made easy. Comes with a CD, so great!

Nice

This book was one of the books recommended by my son's violin teacher and is perfect for a beginner who has already had book 1 'Fiddle Time Starters' (which I ordered & recieved from same seller at another time). Instruction in the book is clear and easily understood, the book itself is just over A4 in size. The book is recommended for adults & children to learn, I am learning from the same book to support my son. Book came before stated delivery date which was wonderful and is in excellent new condition. The packaging was fit for purpose and labeling was very clear. Deffinately recommend product and seller.

These fiddle time books are wonderful. The children learn to play together with accompaniment from day one. Most tunes are lovely. Learning is very structured and a lot of skills get covered from day one. Some methods are plucking strings forever. Some don't touch the g string for years. This book does a lot, but it is not a diy book. Some tunes are a little fast for beginners.

I stared to learn violin with this book and reached to lesson 20 on my very first class. Generally, the book is good to start with, but I found the lack of descriptions/information very annoying; for example, some of the music notes started with 3 sharp signs and another with 1 sharp sign or none and it's not explained anywhere in the whole book. There was a very brief section in the final page of the book about some of the signs, but it wasn't enough.

Es kam sicher und später als erwartet, aber gut verpackt an.

La entrega fue puntual y el libro en buen estado.

This is the best beginner Violin Book I have ever worked with. It’s not overwhelming. Very simple. It is basic and has these catchy little toons that help you drill those notes into your head. It’s so fun you forget you are learning. The catchy little toons give you satisfaction when you learn them. Makes you want to keep learning. I have tried other beginner violin books and they confuse me. If you have ADD this book is for you. Each page is not overwhelming. I can’t have too much stuff on one page or I get overwhelmed. This has different tunes and it helps you get the notes in your head. Also there is enough room on the pages to write in notes to yourself. Or like I like to write G,D,A,E, above the notes so I can memorize the name of the notes. If you are teaching yourself violin, I would highly recommend this book. If you have ADHD.l or a child who has it. Pick this one. I bought two other books before this one and it was too confusing. Also they were not as interesting because they just had a note and had you repeat the notes and not much of any catchy tunes. Also this book contains a cd to help you along as well.

Super pour pouvoir débuter je recommande

Great to start to learn violin - without much theory. 5 Star for the seller: my first order was damaged (probably by the long journey in the post), and I received a quick replacement! Thank you!
