I love using this method book for my younger new students. There is a heavy emphasis on rhythm and many of the early exercises are designed to help students hold their violins without a "death grip". It introduces one finger at a time and gives students plenty of time to learn to identify and read their new notes. There is a cd that comes with the book. I find that students use the cd for the first few exercises and then typically abandon it. Sometimes it is difficult for students to figure out when they are supposed to start playing with a track but overall it works well.
My student liked the CD.Very creative presentation. A nice change form the old violin method book. Very creative method of introducing different rhythms. She liked the words especially.up-to- date and fun.
Seems to be easy for beginner
