Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mel Bay Christmas Melodies for Violin Solo (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for the beginning to intermediate player. The arrangements are fun and challenging to play, and the violin parts sound excellent along with the piano parts. This book is ideal for students looking for a solo piece for a school concert or similar event, but the adult violinist or pianist will also enjoy this book's songs and arrangements. A great buy!
