Description

The Belwin String Builder is a string class method in which the violin, viola, cello, and bass play together throughout. Each book, however, is a complete unit and may be used separately for class or individual instruction. The material in this book is realistically graded so that only a minimum of explanatory material is required. Each melody is interesting and will provide the basis for a fine left hand technic and bow arm. Available in three levels for violin, viola, cello, bass, piano accompaniment, and teacher's manual.

    • Good beginner book for adult learners
Recommended by my violin teacher. I picked up the violin and barely remember my music basics. This was a great intro book to understand basic bowing, fingering and playing simple tunes.

    • Best beginner book out there
I have been teaching for over 10 years, and this is now my go-to book for beginnger students age 8+. It has a brilliant method, starting off with long notes rather than just quarters or eighths, allowing the student to learn how to produce good long-bow sound right from the start. The songs are short and easy to learn, many are fun and recognizable tunes, and there are so many great duets that help the student learn listening and chamber music skills when playing with a teacher. I record the teacher line for my students to practice with at home as well, and my students love this book and stay engaged all the way through! It takes them on avg 1-1.5 years to complete the whole book. By the end, they are excellent sight readers, have great rhythm, and can easily play duets with good basic ensemble skill. I then start them on Suzuki Book 1 which they blaze through quickly with all the skills they've learned in this book. HIGHLY recommend! ... show more

    • Wonderful
I switched over to this book for my students after years of using essential elements. I like how it introduces the bow right away and focuses on tone and steady reading development one note at a time. Highly recommend for students that learn a bit slower and that have the patience to work with their tone. If they need to be able to pluck twinkle twinkle in two weeks, use essential elements. ... show more

    • Proven method!
The String Builder method has been used for generations and is still the most efficient, well paced, and thorough approach. It is perfect on its own, but also very useful as a supplement to the Suzuki method.

I got these and Suzuki Violin School: Violin Part, Vol. 1 at the same time. There cheap. So I thumbed through both of them now and I just like the layout of these book a lot more then the other. If your looking to start learn the violin there is a ton of free youtube stuff and free websites but for me nothing beats a hard copy of a book that I can look at. For me I just started learning about the violin about 6 months ago, I currently 31 years old. I've had no formal training or nothing. So I hit up google first, that's where I find a wonderful youtube violin and piano teacher channel. From there I find the fiddlerman.com webside and so other stuff. Long story short I got my violin and pickup Violin for dummys book. Im still reading it and building on what I learned from the web. But these book does have more to teach with practices and song that are easy to play. So a good word of advise is if you really want to learn to play its never to late. Good luck on your adventure. ... show more

    • String Builders Violin Book One
I use String Builders to teach violin to my students. I feel that the way they have set up the book and used scales as a basis for everything else transforms into a way of teaching that helps the students to understand. The reason is mainly because they all know what a scale is and it helps them in proper placement of their fingers as they learn. I have had students come to me where teachers have placed tape over the proper placement for the fingers, and I remove them right away. I do not want children to have to use this as a crutch. They start right off in the beginning to train their ear to hear what they are playing and this makes for a better learning. All in all I am very happy with this series of books and have used it for the last 10 years that I have taught violin. ... show more

    • A classic
This is a great beginner's intro to the violin. Though I was actually shipped the wrong book, I am assuming that these reviews are for the product itself, and I've used this book before.I would recommend this book to anyone starting out on the violin, preferably with a teacher but it could be done by yourself. While other beginning violin books bog you down with terms and excessive wording,this book takes a simple approach that will teach you the same things. ... show more
