    A must for the serious beginner
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2010*

We sparked our five year old son's interest through this DVD and he was SO excited to get an instrument after watching. After starting lessons, we still went back to this DVD to address the questions we had in between lessons - so many things will go wrong at first with all you have to remember about posture, where your elbows are, how to hold the bow, the feet, etc.,etc. The pace is perfect for both of us - I am a professional pianist and am learning alongside my son. The selected works make for realistic performance aims for people just starting out, rather than being too difficult and frustrating for the younger student. We do some things differently at lessons (ie without the marking tape) but there is something to be learned from every teacher in a chosen field.The adult learner could always supplement getting this DVD along with DVDs of Oistrach, Milstein, et al for even more inspiration. But as Leopold Mozart in his treatise says, without mastering the very basics and getting the first position notes really under your belt, you're not going to get very far. And it is amazing how much a beginner student can forget things or develop a new bad habit in the course of a week.I would highly recommend this series. Rhoda speaks very clearly and you will have confidence after practicing alongside her performances. There are actually slight variations of technique at this stage going from one teacher to another but here is a concise method in one neat package that will set you off to a great start. I have found many teachers to be less organized and have temperaments to boot. For my son the squeaky weeks were short-lived and he has survived through the 'straighten that bow!' stage with a love of the instrument still remaining. I heard many parents complain that's about when they all quit.

    Excellent !
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2009*

I am 25 and a complete beginner with the violin. And I had never played a musical instrument before this. I got this DVD and the accompanying book. I also started taking private lessons. The help that I got from the DVD was immense. The lady in the DVD is an excellent teacher. Shes goes over very slowly each and everything that a complete beginner will want to know, like holding the violin, a proper bow hold, playing positions, finger positions, everything. I particularly like the way she teaches playing the violin in the DVD, the notes that appear in the lower part of the screen while she plays them on the violin is very helpful.Within 2 weeks of my starting to learn the violin, I am playing my first song. It is not much, but it still makes me feel very good. I strongly recommend this product to anyone out there who wishes to learn this beautiful instrument. Also get the accompanying book.I dont have the CD, but because most of the pieces in the book are actually on the CD (and not on this DVD), one might as well buy that. But I think the DVD along with the book and one private lesson a week should be more than enough.

    Great basic violin intro
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2008*

I purchased this DVD along with her book, 
  
The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner, Violin Book 1







  
  
    I found that having a video demonstration of care and tuning of the violin to be valuable.  I did think that the video is really short and doesn't go too in depth.  I had to look at videos from YouTube on violin tips and care to understand better how to do things.I am 30 years old and had never touched a violin but knew I always wanted to learn.  This DVD, along with the book, did help me to learn the notes, parts of the violin, and I can play a few short songs just after a week of learning and practicing.  I am pretty impressed, as I always thought myself to be music illiterate!  But it wasn't so bad...and this DVD is a good option.
