It helps build a strong foundation in the musical journey
As someone who has recently used this book, I can confidently say that it provides a solid foundation for learning the violin. This book's varied exercises and deliberate pacing are what make it so impressive. The approach ensures that students feel at ease and confident as they advance by starting with the fundamentals and progressively introducing more difficult ideas. Familiar songs are incorporated with exercises that have been particularly created to keep pupils interested and to enhance the learning experience. I like how the book strikes a mix between technical exercises and musical compositions, assisting students in honing both their musical interpretation and playing abilities. Complete musicianship is emphasized throughout the series, and this book is no exception. It has sections on history, cross-curricular activities, and music theory, all of which I think are helpful for producing artists who are well-rounded. Another fantastic feature are the Performance Spotlights, which provide students an enjoyable and encouraging platform to present what they've learned.

I used this book back when I was a child learning violin. And viola in elementary. And i learned perfectly. Now I am looking at it and once again am relearning the viola. It's fantastic. Highly recommend for all beginners
Great beginner book
This is a great resource for teaching children to play violin. My autistic son used it upon recommendation from his teacher. He used it to learn to play.
Nice and informative.
I want to relearn the violin and this book is such a good refresher. Also, the online profile is so easy to set up and had different genres of accompaniments to play along to.
