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 nice program . I love it

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.

Easy to use and a great teaching program.

contacted customer support and they told me that their techs are working on an option to work for Lion but it would not be out in the foreseeable future.

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 decided to try my hand at teaching myself violin. I read a lot of internet posts that stated that the violin was very difficult and nearly impossible to teach to yourself. This software makes all those posts absolutely false. The lessons are really easy to follow, the ability to watch a video showing how to play the lesson, than you can see exactly what stings to use and what finger placement. I have moved through the lessons and really feel myself getting better. I would highly recommend this software to anyone wanting to learn the violin. Dont be fooled by the age posted on the box. I am 25 and find this program teaches me in progressive way. One thing I would recommend to go with this is the bow right devise. It helps keep my bow on course and in the right zone. Not having an instuctor to help me means I need all the help I can get keeping the right posture and control. Just my thoughts.

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.

Cool little program, but my daughter was half way through the lessons in about 20 mins. Tuner in program is inaccurate, some of the lessons are annoying and repetitive. I would save the $$ and just go on and spend it on lessons.

This program is absolutely worth every penny! I am 32 years old and had never before played or touched a violin. I decided that I would give it a try and bought My Violin. The lessons are very easy to follow, and I have already learned so much in just three short weeks! I highly recommend this for beginners!
