eMedia My Violin - Learn at Home

I just got my copie of My Violin today in the mail. After playing with the program for about 3-4 hours, I have to say I LOVE! it. I am 31 years old, and Im just now begining to learn the violin. I have had no priore contact with reading music or ever playing it before , which is why I picked this program. It was ment to be use for children 6 and up, and my only thought was, Hey if a 6 year old can learn to play violin off this, then maybe I can as well. The program is truly simple to follow, easy to understand, mixes video and visual componates at EVERY step, and passivly teaches you how to read music and learn rythm. The instructor obviously loves teaching and is very friendly and easy to understand. It is a bit childish in its content, how ever it was designed for children! as an adult beginner i realy recomend this program not only for kids, but anyone who may have a hard time learning. The use of games to help remember the lessons and the use of video help was ingeniouse. This program gets a full set of 5 stars from me. *****

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.

SOME PARTS IS OMG REALLY..WELL IT DOES HELP I SAY IF YOUR LIKE ME AND KNOW HOW TO PLAY NOTHING

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.

Using for homeschool.Easy to understand for all ages!!!

For anyone wanting to learn to play the violin without the added ongoing expense of group or private lessons, this software product is for you!

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.

This is a terrific product. Not enough words to tell you how good, you should not be sorry! Purchased for my 4 1/2 year old grandson and Nan enjoyed as well!

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!

very satisfied
