Amazon decided that the item was undeliverable despite the fact that the other item in my order arrived in only 4 days. After that, I really didn’t feel like re-ordering.

This lady’s intentions are great, but her way of teaching needs improvment. She speaks way to slow and to soft. She does go into detail about what everything is on the violin which is great for a beginer. But she consentrates to long on the “simple” things that she should move on with. After watching her for 15 minutes your still not learning anything you get bored very quickly. We didn’t finish watching her because of her slow speach and teaching ways.

Don’t do it!! You have to buy the DVD AND THE BOOK, and there is not another DVD to advance your technique past kiddie songs. Trust me, there are much better DVD series out there!

This DVD was very basic and since I had no book to go along with it I didn’t advance very far.
