Violin Star 1, Student's book (Violin Star (ABRSM))

Item as described by seller, arrived on time.

Exactly as I ordered, quick delivery.

Helped daughter alot especially with the follow along CD.

This book has 47 very simple violin parts which help a beginner with string crossing, simple fingering and the elements of reading music. The CD which comes with it has two versions of each part, the first part plus accompaniment (which in fact usually carries the real tune - the simple violin part is like a second violin part), the second accompaniment alone, so the young player can listen to it and then try it out, karaoke-fashion. This is good (and good fun) for practice. All of the tunes are attractive - eventually, for example, we're on to a Bach Musette, Silent Night, some pleasant old country dances, a tango, Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King (called 'Trolls, Orcs and Goblins' here) and The House of the Rising Sun. You can also buy another book separately with a piano accompaniment ; it''s good if you want the learner to play with a real person rather than a CD, but either works fine. The whole approach is clever and enjoyable, and it works. l

You absolutely need a teacher with this book. There are practice songs only. Starting violin with basic skill such as holding the bow, how to use bow the make a note,..etc... really need a teacher face to face, not online one for basic skill of studying violin. I have more than five years to teaching violin for kids from 6 years old to grade 7. So, not recommend for kid under 10 years old to buy this book for self-learning. The kid above 10 years old can buy for self-learning but should watch some more video on youtube as well. Recommended.

Great service, efficient, great quality, very satisfied customer.

Great book. thank you.

Nice for beginners
