Learn To Play The Violin - SONG BOOK 1 | Download Only

As a beginner learning the violin from home, Alison's method is really easy to do and it is really progressive. As for the songs from Song Book 1, they are great. Not too easy and not too hard. These two added together results in amazing things!

So here's the thing. I just spent six weeks going through Alison's first ten lessons and all the exercises. One to two hours a day squeaking and scratching on open strings, first finger, second finger and finally 3/4 finger notes. Finally, I got through the final exercise reasonably well and I bought this song book as my reward. Finally! Let's play some music. The point of all this is: I was able to sight read the first two pieces! I was totally surprised at how easily I was able to pick up the first two pieces. Not great - I still have a lot of work to do with intonation and string crossings. But, after going through the exercises and diligently following Alison's instructions, I was able to sight read and play two pieces on the violin in a recognizable form. Her method *works*. I am one happy student.

Happy to be able to learn violon at home.Thank you very much

Started playing the violin in March and already able to play beautiful tunes and it actually sounds very nice. It maybe helps that I’m a guitarist and know how to read sheet music. Thanks for the online lessons so far.

This is a very useful book. Gradually takes you through the progressive lessons you have learnt and offers some easy, then more challenging pieces, even if you are not an absolute beginner, so keeps you interested. The pieces, very well stripped back, encourages the use of the little finger, something I have been avoiding as I find it very difficult! For me personally, I am trying to play 'folk' fiddle, ie, Irish, Scottish, old time American, so would appreciate some of these tunes, perhaps in a later book? Overall, would highly recommend as a good learning resource. Thank you Alison, for giving your precious time to help people like me.

Picked up the violin Nov'20, 61yrs old newbie. You make it so easy to learn. I am loving it!!

Received the download immediately , I look forward to completing lesson 10 so that I can use it.

Excellent, incorporates everything learned so far. Great boost to be able play the music. Thank you

Considering so much violin-related material is already given for free, it inky seems fair that you have to pay for this book. I think it was very much worth the money. All the arrangements were the perfect difficulty, and there was obviously a lot of care put into this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am working my way through the first song now and enjoying having the music in front of me. I was able to just print out the music, and I refer to the PDF for the additional instructions at the end of the book.
