Book Reviews of Violin For Dummies
Book Review: It is a good book, if you have enought time to read it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I admit I am not a concert violinist, and won't ever be, This book is very informative about violins, but for someone that only wants to learn how to play, it contains way more info than needed. I don't really care what a scroll is, or how these instruments are manufactured, I only want to know how to tune it, install a bridge, and how to find the notes. But I suppose if you are willing to spend the time to learn it all, it is very informative.Book Review: Violin Instruction
Summary: 5 Stars
Katharine Rapoport brings a lot of experience to light in this book; designed for the very beginner through advanced. If you are trying to tackle violin pedagogy on your own maybe because you can't afford private lessons or maybe your schedule is not conducive for private lessons, or whatever reason; this book is a good place to start. The instruction is informative, structured, and relaxed in nature.Book Review: Violin for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is amazing and it's easy to follow, the writer writes like she speaks so the material is very animated as you read it. I played the violin when I was younger but for years I haven't touched my violin so now I'm trying to get back into reading the notes and playing again and this manual is absolutely great! Very complete in all of its information ...Highly recommended :)Book Review: Dummies are great
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't gotten too far with this one. I've been focused on the harmonica one for now, but this has the same great format as all of the other dummies books that I've bought. It takes you from ground zero and builds you up...Book Review: There are MUCH better books out there
Summary: 1 Stars
Even though I am learning violin, I am not a dummy, and I do not like to be taught like one. There are much better book out there to learn how to play violin.
