The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner, Book 1 Sheet music Description
Review
Extremely clear and beautifully organized, The ABCs of Violin are a truly valuable resource for every teacher of students in the early stages of exploring the instrument. They are immensely helpful not only in laying the essential groundwork, but also in making the process enjoyable. --Dorothy DeLay, Violin Pedagogue, Juilliard School

I had been searching 15 years for the ideal method to use with my students and this is it! I've been using it for the past 4 years. With this entire series (5 books for violin) my younger and older students have had more enthusiasm to practice and learn to read quicker and better. By the time they play student concertos and advanced solo pieces, their technique is more precise than with other methods.
Details:
1. It has more variety than other methods--it includes fiddle tunes, classical, folk and improvisational. Continually keeps up my student's interest--they are never bored!
2. The warm-ups before each piece make so much sense and have taught me to create my own while teaching violin concertos and advanced solo pieces. Plus they are nice to listen to, so students practice them--unlike other method book's warm-ups which make violin playing seem tedious. The etudes (study pieces) are written well, too. They are fun to play!
3. The finger graphs help my students know where to put their fingers right away--some go ahead in the book without me assigning the next lesson.
4. The pages are clean looking without all that clutter you see in other method books--the notes are bigger, too!
5. All the books from this series cover the essential techniques more thoroughly than other methods--so many methods move too fast which can be discouraging for students!
6. The pieces the author wrote are some of the best pieces in the book. Not only are they beautiful, but they work very well technically--they lay well in both hands. Many other colleagues of mine agree with this about Ms. Tucker Rhoda's pieces.
7. By the way, Book 5 is my favorite book. It has classic solo pieces.
