Title: Presentation not Lesson
Product review: If this book was a simple presentation on playing the violin to a class for example, I would give it 5 stars. However, the author pretends to teach beginners how to play the violin. There is no illustration or mention of the placement of fingers on the fingerboard. The book jumps from playing flat notes (G, D, A, E) to more complex notes (C, F#) without any linking illustration/explanation.The only reason I do not hate it: The CD. It contains music samples which can be useful if you have a musical ear or simply want to compare your playing against a more developed skill.
