Book Reviews of Mel Bay First Lessons Violin Book/CD Set
Book Review: Better than the books my teacher suggested!
Summary: 5 Stars
The progression of pieces (and big bonus of being able to listen to them all on the CD) for this book is far superior to that of the Suzuki method (or the ABC for violin book). The selection of songs is neither too juvenile nor too complicated- this is my favorite book out of the 7 or 8 I now own. I am a first year violin student and am supplementing the books my teacher chose with some of my own selection that have more playable music, such as this one. If you only get ONE violin books- this is the one.Book Review: Best I've used
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book and CD combination. The CD makes it fun to play the exercises because you can play along with a full accompaniment. The songs are beautiful, and unlike the ABC violin book mentioned by other reviews, they are not songs written by the author, but rather timeless songs known by everyone.
This book and CD set has really helped me learn to read music, and has vastly improved my sight reading on the violin.
Book Review: book and cd a great combo
Summary: 5 Stars
The book and cd is a great combo and deal. The book is easy to understand and learn from and the songs challenge you. My teacher says im doing excellent and will be a pro soon and I owe it to this book. This is a must if you are just learning the violin!Book Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my husband who just recently got his first violin. Its great and he uses it everyday! Its really easy and the pieces on the CD are so helpful to get started!Book Review: Not for the absolute beginner
Summary: 4 Stars
Not for the absolute beginner but a good supplement for lessons with a qualified instructor. I use this when I practice alone and find the pieces challenging but worth the effort.
