 Watered-down and of little value Jun 06, 2006
By laprimavera
I had to buy this book for the strings class at college. The whole class was bored to death for the whole semester, despite the good effort by the instructor to make the best of it. It looks like the publisher decided to divide the Essential Elements for Strings (which is a fine beginning book that I did several years ago) into 2 books in order to generate more business. If you already know the notes in the first position, don't waste your money on this book. There are lots of good post-absolute-beginner book for violin - Spotlight on Strings, ABCs of Violin, All for Strings, String Builder, or Essential Elements for Strings (NOT this 2000 thing). For private instructions for beginners, I would recommend Doflein Book 1 and Suzuki Book 1.

Lesson book Jan 23, 2011
By Greg S Pecaut
I understand that many instructors love this series, but I found ABCs of Violin a bit better for self study. The CDs are nice to hear what it is you are supposed to sound like and to play along with after you get the piece down. Do get both book 1 and 2 if this is the series you are going to use. Once you get going, it doesn't take long to want more pieces to play that you like. I play every piece in the book, but I play the pieces I like much more often for practice. If you push yourself you can get through book 1 and 2 in less than 2 months. Do get the books with both the CD and DVDs, they are a big help.
It may take hours of practice but when you start playing songs (pieces) you like it is a ball. I'm at 3 months now and am starting to learn Vivaldi's Spring, and a number of Fiddle tunes. Bach's Jesu (full solo version (advanced)) is still giving me fits, but I have just started learning second and third posistions.
I find the advanced Fiddle books teach, or at least make you learn, double stops much more than many of the violin lesson books.
Good luck and enjoy.

 Essentials will help a lot Mar 07, 2011
By Dimiter
Essential Elements for Violin (and for other string instruments) are extremely useful. I got part 1 and after that part 2. Just by myself I learned the basics of the violin in a level, that I can prepare myself to play almost everything that I would. It was as a joke, but my wife order the violin for my son. but he decided to play cello, because was BIG. so the violin was sitting a while till I got Essential Element Book 1. when I started learning I realized how enjoyable and insparational was set up that manual. So, that book hook me up and now I'm playing violin.
As a last word for the I can say: It is extremely intelligent way to learn violin. Highly recommend.

very, very good Dec 04, 2010
By G. Cates
"darkspawn"
the CDs/DVDs that come with this are pretty useless- if you are a complete beginner you really do need a teacher, there is just no substitute for that, but these books are a great tool. I hadn't played in almost 8 years and was able to play decently again using these books as my only re-teaching tool in less than a week (but some things you just never really forget). If your teacher/tutor wants you to buy this- or you are brave enough to learn on your own- don't think twice about buying these books, just do it!!

Good Beginner Student Violin Book May 14, 2007
By S. Clay
The book is very helpful as it shows at each stage of progression the proper techniques to hold the violin, the proper placement of the fingers, and other good illustrations. The lessons are straight forward and easy to follow.
