User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star No violin part as a previous review said
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 Amazon shipping clerk was not aware of this should be a two book package?
2 Stars Warning: this is volume 6!
We ordered this book for our daughter upon the recommendation of her violin teacher. The music seemed much too difficult for her – then we noticed that it was Volume 6 of a series! Nowhere in the description of the book does it mention this is Volume 6. Looking back now, with a magnifying glass (literally), I can see volume 6 in the left-hand corner of the picture of the book. But even when you look at the front cover view, the top is cut off so you wouldn’t see anything about Volume 6. We would be returning it but her teacher offered to buy it from us. Now we will go to a local store to make sure we are purchasing the correct item, which we should have done in the first place. Very misleading description.
1 Star No Violin Part
Amazon shipped this order twice without including the violin part. Finally I gave up and ordered it from another source. Return was a minor hassle as Amazon told me to preprint a return label which they they wanted to charge me for via deduction from refund. After a protest they came around and refunded entire price.
4 Stars Good music, but a little tough for a true beginner
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.
