The description of the product I purchased clearly stated that piano AND violin part was included but I received only the violin part. is terrible about selling sheet music because they don't understand it. I also purchased a Suzuki violin book from them which showed a picture of the newest edition of the book, but received the old edition in the mail.
As another customer review said, this package delivered quickly but without violin part. It is confusing that the left upper corner of the book says violin and piano part but inside the book says piano part, I guess shipping clerk was not aware of this should be a two book package?
The Barber series Solos for Young Violinists is a well-developed series and beautifully published. The negative reviews on this site all involve poor practices by (i.e., not fully identifying the level, 1-6, and not including the full 2-volume package. Music is typically published this way, with a separate violin part and a score for the pianist, and they are not to be sold separately!).
I should have been warned after reading the other reviews about missing the companion violin book... has shipped this item TWICE now without the violin part. They should not be selling this item if they cannot figure out what "Violin & Piano Parts" means.Don't make the same mistake as I did -- save yourself some hassle and aggravation by buying from another source.
I know it say for Young Violinists. I played all through school, I had to quite, because of Life. Now I am retired, and playing my Violin again. Looking for music I can play, and enjoy. This book and CD/DVD are wonderful. I love the verity of music, truly enjoying playing Thank you So Much. I will be getting more.
For the students who are working on Suzuki Book 3-4, this is a great book to play for fun or recital. There a big range of selection from easier level to harder level and 2 different books for violinist and accompanist. Highly recommendable.
These solos start with a few quite easy songs, but very quickly the solos become much more difficult. There doesn't seem to be much for the "just a little better than rank beginner" player. That said, the music is much more satisfying than most available in books for beginning players.
This book was great! It covers songs from various sources, such as the Suzuki series and 10 Little Classics (Bach). This book is actually useful and provides challenging and interesting material for a young violinist to practice. Some books I had been advised to purchase just sit collecting dust, not this one!
