Not a bad book...,

This review is from: Mel Bay Easy Solos for Beginning Violin (Building Excellence Series) (Paperback)
As a begining violinist I purchased this book with little knowledge of the music or skills necessary. This book fit the skill level advetised and was appropriate for teaching the basic skills. I do however prefer the kawasaki series as it is superior for teaching the self correcting method.

This review is from: Mel Bay Easy Solos for Beginning Violin (Building Excellence Series) (Paperback)
We thought the book was going to be for beginning violin but that portion was only a flimsy insert and the book if for piano accompanyment. Not what we really wanted.

The songs included in the book are challenging but easy enough for the beginner to learn.
