1.0 out of 5 stars Watered-down and of little value, June 6, 2006

By	laprimavera (somewhere in cyberspace) - See all my reviews

I had to buy this book for the strings class at college. The whole class was bored to death for the whole semester, despite the good effort by the instructor to make the best of it. It looks like the publisher decided to divide the Essential Elements for Strings (which is a fine beginning book that I did several years ago) into 2 books in order to generate more business. If you already know the notes in the first position, don't waste your money on this book. There are lots of good post-absolute-beginner book for violin - Spotlight on Strings, ABCs of Violin, All for Strings, String Builder, or Essential Elements for Strings (NOT this 2000 thing). For private instructions for beginners, I would recommend Doflein Book 1 and Suzuki Book 1.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Beginner Student Violin Book, May 13, 2007

By	S. Clay (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is very helpful as it shows at each stage of progression the proper techniques to hold the violin, the proper placement of the fingers, and other good illustrations. The lessons are straight forward and easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book
I bought this book for my son to practice violin. It is very helpful to him.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit dry, but an important step for beginner violinists
While it's true that this second book in the series is dry, it still does a great job of covering the "next steps' in learning to play. Read more
