ntroduction
to Violin DVD
by Jim Tolles is a 60 minute video that covers the beginning
information in the Violin Primer & Fiddle Primer books and works
equally well on violin or fiddle. This course is designed to
teach the beginner how to read music, how to hold the
instrument, develop proper bowing technique, and play in tune.
It utilizes many closeups to show proper hand position and
technique. The unique split screens show both hands in detail
and utilizes onscreen notation for all of the music with a
bouncing ball type pointer showing each note as it is being
played. A great way to learn how to play violin.
