Book Reviews of Picture Yourself Playing Violin
Book Review: Juilliard Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I have taught many of the Worlds finest Violinists, of whom personally knows Mrs. Seidel, and for that reason I decided to learn about Mrs. Seidel's DVD lessons and book. I am extremely impressed with the skill and talent Mrs. Seidel demonstrates through her impeccable teaching style and talent. I now require all of my beginning violin students to study all of Mrs. Seidel's DVD lessons and book, so that they will already know Music Theory, Rhythm, and how to play the violin prior to their first private lesson at Juilliard.
Thank you, Mrs. Seidel, for creating a wonderful system for student to learn the Violin!
Summary of Picture Yourself Playing Violin
Welcome to Picture Yourself Playing Violin! This book and accompanying instructional DVD is the easiest way to learn the violin, because it begins at the basics with no prior musical knowledge assumed. This book/DVD package is truly intended for complete beginners-it guides you through your first steps of acquiring a violin, setting up the violin to practice, actually moving the bow and fingering hands, understanding and reading sheet music, and learning how to practice a song up to a point to where you feel comfortable performing it in front of your first audience. As part of the Picture Yourself series, this learning package provides a progression of easy-to-follow instructions with extremely helpful pictures and diagrams that demonstrate every new technique and skill you need to learn, using the same steps and methods the author uses at her music academy. Each of the eight technique-building chapters covers a major aspect of the art of playing violin; for example, how to bow the violin with the right hand, finger the violin with the left hand, read sheet music, and how to learn and perform songs in an easy to follow step-by-step style of instruction. Each lesson builds on the last and adds a new technical aspect to your repertoire. The book also contains sheet music with supportive finger and bowing markings above each note. By the end of the book, you'll be able to play 13 songs! To help reinforce the concepts in the book, the accompanying DVD includes over an hour of tutorials demonstrating the proper posture, bowing, and fingering techniques explained in the step-by-step teaching method in the book.General Books
