eMedia My Violin - Learn at Home

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.

Very easy and easy to understand!

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.

I purchased this program for my 7 year old daughter after she got a violin for Christmas. Im impressed with the program because she doesnt really need adult direction and can teach herself. Will this program teach you to become an accomplished professional violinist? No, but the lessons are simple to follow, have engaging games for reinforcement, and really do help teach the basics. I wanted to do this before investing in expensive private lessons. I believe it was a good call. I would recommend this not only for children, but anyone wanting to learn how to play violin. I also purchased the my violin and was equally impressed with that one.

Im leaving this one up to my daughter she knows more about it. She thinks ithis tem is great, makes it easier then just teaching from what she remembers.

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 video was gift for a girl 5 years old, who is beginning to study the violin. It was perfect for her, she is enjoying a lot!

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.

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

My son got a violin for Christmas and this cd-rom with it. My 8 year old likes it,it is a good way to start learning at home.
