1.0 out of 5 stars
Less than helpful,
By Libby Young (Cape Town, Western Cape South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Step One: Play Violin BK/CD (Paperback)
I'm terribly disappointed with Play Violin. The CD recordings are fine but the book itself is badly structured with insufficient explanations and the pieces of music seem to follow no logical scale. I go to lessons so don't rely on the book for instruction, but still it's less than helpful.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Presentation not Lesson,
By
This review is from: Step One: Play Violin BK/CD (Paperback)
If this book was a simple presentation on playing the violin to a class for example, I would give it 5 stars. However, the author pretends to teach beginners how to play the violin. There is no illustration or mention of the placement of fingers on the fingerboard. The book jumps from playing flat notes (G, D, A, E) to more complex notes (C, F#) without any linking illustration/explanation.The only reason I do not hate it: The CD. It contains music samples which can be useful if you have a musical ear or simply want to compare your playing against a more developed skill.
