Book Reviews of The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner: Violin, Book 1
Book Review: Great if you get the dvd with it
Summary: 2 Stars
I just got the book today, and yes its a nice book, for some one that does not need a teacher or actually understands music, but for an absolute beginner, I dont think so.
It starts out very fast and gets right into the lessons but leaves out big chuncks of inormation, which might be included in the dvd. In lesson 4 on page 6, the lessons begin on page 4, it tells you to work threw the lesson in pizzicato the first time and arco the secon, but no were does it tell you what that is or means. Again, maybe if you had the dvd it would tell you.
It also tells you what the staff, the spaces and lines are but doesnt really give you any way to acctualy learn them or be able to commit them to memory. It's more like a splat on the page that says , here it is, thats all you get.
now all the songs it has listed are great! learners songs, and fun to do. but again with out the dvd your left going ummm.. huh?
i would say that this is a great book for some one who is already past the basics and understand reading music and rythum. but for an absolute beginner, i would say pass and get the " my violin" program instead. and use that to begin with. this would be a good book to use after something like that. eaither that or get the entire set of book,dvd and cd. im sure it would then be awsume. However, the book but it self is incomplete.
just my two cents.
