More About the Author

Lisa Berman holds an Masters of Music degree in Violin Performance from the Yale School of Music, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Yale University, and a JD from Yale Law School. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lisa began violin lessons at age four at MacPhail Center for Music, where she studied with Mark Bjork and Mary West. She went on to study with Erick Friedman, noted soloist and student of Jascha Heifetz, at the Yale School of Music. Lisa has been teaching private violin lessons for over a decade to students of all ages and levels in New Haven, CT, Pittsburgh, PA, and, currently, in the Twin Cities area. Lisa is a past first prize winner of the Schubert Club Solo Competition and has been a guest soloist with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and at Tanglewood.

My company, Simply Violin, embraces and expands on Suzuki violin concepts with products designed for a new generation of students. We believe learning violin should be fun. Our products include an innovative Scales Book based on Carl Flesch, and a variety of Song Books that offer exceptional value -- 90 Sacred Songs, 90 Favorite Songs, 40 Christmas Songs, all with lyrics and accurate yet accessible versions. Fiddle Tunes and Books for Beginning Orchestra round out our sheet music offerings. All publications are clear, easy to read, and built to last.

A full selection of teaching aids includes a full-color Circle of Fifths and colorful 3D Fingerboard Diagrams, and Note Fun Flash Cards with themes such as tropical fish and kittens & puppies. Teaching aids are available for all strings (violin, viola, cello, and bass).

We believe our products should be attractive as well as useful. Our book covers and note cards feature artwork by noted artist Susan Giannantonio.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Top 40 for Violin, November 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simply Violin: 40 Christmas Songs for Violin in First Position (Sheet music)
I got this book at a local store that sells it in Minnesota. It has 40 Christmas songs, including a few I had trouble finding: an arrangement of the Twelve Days of Christmas and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. The arrangements and edits are good and seem to match my memory of the songs. Glad to see most of my favorite Christmas songs in one book.

This review is from: Simply Violin: 40 Christmas Songs for Violin in First Position (Sheet music)
I have several first year violin students who will be playing for church at Christmas. This book is perfect because every song is in 1st position and does not require the use of 4th finger. The music is accurate and my students recognize the tune right away. This is very rewarding and motivating for my students. Thank you for making this music available. I will be using it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for gigs, November 24, 2009
This review is from: Simply Violin: 40 Christmas Songs for Violin in First Position (Sheet music)
I used this book for a Christmas gig, as it had most of the songs I got requests for. The arrangements are not watered down, which is nice. I think the book is geared for beginners, but worked for me as a pro.
