Title: Don't waste your money
Review: When possible, I borrow instruction books, CDs, videos, and DVDs for learning a musical instrument from the library to try before I buy. This set was available at my local library.In the case of "Step One Teach Yourself Violin: A Complete Learning System" I give it two thumbs down.The instructor on the DVD begins playing scales on her violin then tells you play along. Unfortunately, neither she nor the book tell you where to place your fingers on the strings or what you are supposed to be playing. The instructor, in my opinion, is not very friendly or helpful.I equate her teaching methods with a child entering the kindergarden, being handed the complete works of Kafka, and being expected to read and undertand it before they've learned the alphabet.The only thing I learned from this method is not to buy it.
