  • They are a wonderful way to help gain confidence in music reading
Format: Paperback
I have the three of these books. My four years old is almost in Suzuki book 2 and a little behind in reading music. The "I can read music" book does not explain much and she cannot listen to the rhythm to confirm if it is correct. These books were a life saver. They are a wonderful way to help gain confidence in music reading. I use combined these books with other music reading books. However this one is one of my favorites. My daughter can play the notes while listening to the recording. The recording could be played as slow or fast as she needs. She is tuning her ears at the same time as she is gaining confidence in reading music. They also motivate my daughter since they have well known songs that a child can play very soon. They are comprehensive enough and They have good information and a good amount of songs. The font is larger than most reading books and easy for a small child to read. With the access code located at the front page of the book you can order the CD-room in the case your internet is slow. The price is very affordable. I would give ten stars! ... show more

  • Essential Elements for Strings
Format: Paperback
An excellent product for students who want to start learning to play the violin. Great for beginner violinists and people who are self-taught. The book is part of a set of three books. Highly recommended for violinists who want to start learning with practical playing in the absence of theory about the musical instrument itself. ... show more

  • A great series!
Format: Paperback
This series of three books are excellent for adults who may have played Violin in the past and want a quick way to catch up and move well past their previous competency level. I last touched a Violin 30+ years ago and only in the first position. This was easy to understand and with great exercises. The series goes from the real basics in book one into third, second, and even fifth position by book three. Simple but very practical and great fun. ... show more

  • Awesome book series!
Format: Paperback
This book and the ones in the series are just great for beginners! I took a few violin lessons but I am basically having to teach myself. Easy to follow and the CD is great! If you are new to the violin, get a book with a CD. I'm still on book #1 and have been for the past 2 months. I finally busted out the CD and wow, why didn't I do it sooner! So helpful to hear the music and then play along and alone. Helps a lot and you really start to learn how to train your ear. I would highly recommend this book and #1 and 2 in the series. ... show more

  • Comprehensive, light and just what I needed.
Format: Paperback
I like that the book had links to go online to order a free CD or use the available resources with the Essential Elements website. It is a good book with exercises to learn 2nd, 3rd and 4th position. It goes through the key scales on the violin with finger patterns for all of them. Great book for people who have finished book 2 or want to review the fundamentals. ... show more
