eMedia My Violin - Learn at Home

I started playing the violin recently and thought I had few classes before, this PC tool is a great way for children and adult to learn the fundamentals of the instrument. Simple and direct, the many lessons (with your own personal virtual teacher) allow you to understand the basics in many fun ways and tricks when it comes to handle a bow, And trust me; its ALL in the bow. I enjoyed it, and expect my future kids to enjoy it as well.

Were having a lot of trouble getting it to work on my computer. It seems like this might be an older program. Were going to try it again and a friend is going to try installing it on his old computer. Fingers crossed.

SOME PARTS IS OMG REALLY..WELL IT DOES HELP I SAY IF YOUR LIKE ME AND KNOW HOW TO PLAY NOTHING

This product, DVD, for violin instruction is simply bad !! This product is very very basic. You can go online to YouTube, type in violin instruction and watch several videos for FREE and obtain a better lesson. Search violin parts for the beginnner, violin techniques for the beginner, first violin songs for the beginner etc... You can do this for free and get a better lesson. I purchased this for my daughter. I watched it once and it was horrible !! They have a nice yet old lady to play the violin. She DOES NOT capture the childs attention !!! My child would not watch the video it was so boring. This video is the equivalent of your childs first lesson for $15 or $20 bucks. Not only this, if you have simply 2 or 3 months of prior piano lessons 20 years in the past and you watch about 1 hours of videos for fee on line. You could teach your child or yourself everything in this CD. Simply this DVD is crap, take it from experience it is not worth the money. If and only if, you live 200 miles from your nearest violin instructor and you have NO experience with anything remotely similar to music instruction then you might want to buy this. I took piano for one semester in college 30 years ago and I am more than easily able to give my child more instruction than this video can !!!! Plese read the prior sentence several times. I am very serious about this.

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.

This is the best violin tutorial for kids. My 7 yr old started this and loves it. Its fun and easy to follow. And she doesnt get bored.

I just got my copie of My Violin today in the mail. After playing with the program for about 3-4 hours, I have to say I LOVE! it. I am 31 years old, and Im just now begining to learn the violin. I have had no priore contact with reading music or ever playing it before , which is why I picked this program. It was ment to be use for children 6 and up, and my only thought was, Hey if a 6 year old can learn to play violin off this, then maybe I can as well. The program is truly simple to follow, easy to understand, mixes video and visual componates at EVERY step, and passivly teaches you how to read music and learn rythm. The instructor obviously loves teaching and is very friendly and easy to understand. It is a bit childish in its content, how ever it was designed for children! as an adult beginner i realy recomend this program not only for kids, but anyone who may have a hard time learning. The use of games to help remember the lessons and the use of video help was ingeniouse. This program gets a full set of 5 stars from me. *****

Very nice program . I love it

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 have always wanted to learn to play the violin, and happened to recently recieve one.
