This review is from: Essential Elements for Strings: A Comprehensive String Method (Paperback)
I've been teaching with this book for the past two years and have mixed feelings about it- The introduction of reading bass clef and other concepts is good, but the songs that follow are quite dry.

I will continue to shop around for a book that teaches beginner technique in a more enjoyable form... Let me know if you have any suggestions!
