Abracadabra Violin Beginner (Pupil's book + CD)

Great starter to the violin.

My daughter can practice better at home using games and songs from this book in addition to the assignments from her teacher. Those of you who have difficulty getting your young ones engaged in home practice will benefit from this together with the teacher's edition. I have two daughters who have recently started string instruments. This takes lot of fuss out of my hand because I can use the cello and violin version together at single practice session at home.

Acquistato per caso, il risultato è stato stupefacente, poiché oltre ad imparare in maniera gioiosa il violino riesce anche, essendo in inglese, a dare i primi rudimenti linguistici applicati allo studio della musica. Consigliatissimo!!!

Very simple introduction to violin, suitable for a group class. There are other books (including another "Abracadabra" book) that offer a more rapid progression and thus have a longer useful life.

I have given this book five stars , simply because just in my opinion , i feel its hould be in an adults collection , i say collection if they are a *beignner* of beginner books of learning the violin . Although it may be aimed at minors tuition, you still do need to learn all the basic techniques such a correct posture , holding the violin and mastering the very basics , you cannot really skip those and think i dont need to go to the childrens books as im an adult i just feel that you should have this book . Its helpful and takes you though , i used it or am using it with other books so you can skip back to easy things and where one book may miss something out something basic , you can move to this book ..i feel its improtant that you have a number of good books if your a total adult beginner and for exmaple you may be taking up the violin in your 40's ..all in all 5 stars .always try to get something inclduing a CD which this book does ..
