eMedia My Violin - Learn at Home

Ive always wanted to learn to play the violin so about a month ago I broke down and bought my instrument. The next step was to find lessons and I looked all over. Bottom line: Every instructor was in high demand and lessons were expensive, about $30 for a 1/2 hour.

For anyone wanting to learn to play the violin without the added ongoing expense of group or private lessons, this software product is for you!

This is great for beginners. Id try this before the expensive teacher then after getting a handle on playing move to a teacher for instruction. It gives the notes, the music, and a video example of someone playing - three ways to learn.

I love it! It is explained very well and the repetitions and games are wonderful. I could not stop playing it.

very satisfied

Great program!

The software seems good so far. I bought this for my 9 year old with her first violin. The lessons are easy to follow, and it has feedback through the microphone which helps you tune the violin. You can tell it is an older software, windows dont expand to full screen and graphics are dated, but it is a good learning tool.

It is the best independent study of the violin that I know of. Violin is a challenging instrument and this program really teaches the student fingering and how to play. It is worth every penny!

i gave this and a violin to my daughter for her sixth birthday, we have just started it and I am blown away! It makes me want to go and by myself a violin to learn with her. It teaches care for you instrument as well as general maintenance. It does not start you out playing twinkle, twinkle or Mary had a little lamb, it genuinely shows you how to play your violin, how to hold your bow, and techniques to improve your ability. Teaching for enjoyment of music is the way we want to go and I think this is a wonderful way to start.

I just cant say enough good things about this product! Although this is mainly for young children, I have really enjoyed it as an adult beginner. I especially love the finger tracker and tuner features, which help you to see how youre doing along the way. Absolutely fantastic! I would love to see an intermediate version of this product.
