eMedia My Violin - Learn at Home

Great program!

I bought this book for my grand-daughter who is interested in learning the violin. although she doesnt have one. . But after just watching the jprogram, there is no real lessons to be learned here. I sent it back.

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

My daughter (5 1/2) is in love with this program. Though I sit with her for lessons, shes able to easily use the program and understands all of the functions with no confusion. The combination of videos, pictures, and sound clips make this very clear and the pace is good. We did over 2 hours our very first day! Every morning, she rushes out of her room wanting to do her violin lessons--were now looking at purchasing the piano course as well---I just wish that they had more titles!

very satisfied

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!

Even though the product is rated for 6+, my daughter at 5 loves the lessons. The narater is easy to follow and uses fun games to help them understand. SHe is learning very quickly and I know she will continue to learn the violin.

My son got a violin for Christmas and this cd-rom with it. My 8 year old likes it,it is a good way to start learning at home.

Very easy and easy to understand!

This product, DVD, for violin instruction is simply bad !! This product is very very basic. You can go online to YouTube, type in violin instruction and watch several videos for FREE and obtain a better lesson. Search violin parts for the beginnner, violin techniques for the beginner, first violin songs for the beginner etc... You can do this for free and get a better lesson. I purchased this for my daughter. I watched it once and it was horrible !! They have a nice yet old lady to play the violin. She DOES NOT capture the childs attention !!! My child would not watch the video it was so boring. This video is the equivalent of your childs first lesson for $15 or $20 bucks. Not only this, if you have simply 2 or 3 months of prior piano lessons 20 years in the past and you watch about 1 hours of videos for fee on line. You could teach your child or yourself everything in this CD. Simply this DVD is crap, take it from experience it is not worth the money. If and only if, you live 200 miles from your nearest violin instructor and you have NO experience with anything remotely similar to music instruction then you might want to buy this. I took piano for one semester in college 30 years ago and I am more than easily able to give my child more instruction than this video can !!!! Plese read the prior sentence several times. I am very serious about this.
