Opis

Violinworks, in two volumes, is a comprehensive method for older beginners and improvers, taking students carefully from the very first steps to around Grade 3 standard. The approach suits self-taught violinists as well as those who have teachers, and emphasizes the importance of good habits from day one, of using your ear, and of always aiming for the best sound. Each volume contains a wide selection of repertoire, plus detailed descriptions and photos to demonstrate correct playing positions. The accompanying CD includes performance tracks, with piano, string quartet, or band backings, plus aural exercises and downloadable PDFs of piano accompaniments. There are supporting video clips and additional resources on a dedicated website, making Violinworks a complete resource for anyone learning or returning to the violin.

Recenzje

I just wanted to say that your workbooks have been exceptionally helpful to me. I started to learn the violin from scratch about a year ago, and I initially tried a number of different online violin courses without much success. The online courses lacked a coherent structure and learning progression, so I found myself floundering. By chance I noticed your workbooks for sale in a music shop in Morecambe, so I restarted my training using your system, including the accompanying audio and videos. I have progressed much further than I had thought, to the point I have cancelled every other subscription to violin training. Thank you for explaining the violin in such an easy and understandable way.
