The program overall is excellent and it is satisfying thousands of players around the world, but as always there are a few conflicting views.

As a musician myself I find a lot of the negative views probably come from the downside to the program. You still have to practice! Irrelevant of who teaches you, there are still sacrifices of time and effort that need to be made on a regular basis.

All that being said, if you're not completely satisfied with the product it does come with a money back guarantee, unlike most lessons!

Hints And Tips For buying A Violin

Hints and Tips To Buying A Violin

Unless you are an experienced violin player or teacher it can be very difficult to know what makes a good violin and if you are getting good value. This section tries to lay a few myths and to give you some sensible advice about making a choice.

What size violin?
The violin is one of the best instruments for young children to learn because it is available in so many small sizes from full size, known as 4/4 down to 1/16. A 1/16 violin is very small indeed and is only suitable for a very young child. By the time a child reaches primary school they will normally be big enough to play a 1/4 or 1/2 size instrument and after a year or two a 3/4 size. Most children will be big enough to play a full size violin by the time they have moved on to secondary school.

Why the Difference's in Price?
Student violins come in two basic types, mass produced and hand made. A mass produced violin will be made to a strict budget. The wood that is used will not be so well seasoned or such good quality and most of the carving will be done by machine. A hand made instrument will take much longer to make. The wood that is used will be carefully selected from much older and better seasoned stock and the carving will all be done by hand.

Are All Strings The Same?
A resounding NO to this. Changing the type of strings on a violin can have a profound affect on the sound of the instrument. When the violin was first invented, strings were made of animal sinew (catgut). This type of string produces a mellow sound but is notoriously difficult to keep in tune as they are greatly affected by temperature and humidity.

What's all this about "Setup"?
If a violin is to play well then the collection of parts like strings, bridge and tailpiece have to be in the right place and also the right size and shape. The bridge must have it's feet adjusted so that they match the curve of the belly of the violin. The curved top of the bridge must match the curve of the fingerboard and hold the strings the right height above it and at the correct distance from each other. The soundpost must be correctly fitted and the pegs must rotate smoothly but not slip once the strings are tuned.

Top 5 Violin Concertos

Number 1 – Ludwig van Beethoven, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Opus 61, written in 1806.
"The Gentle Giant." A piece of music made of the simple materials but of immense scope and structure. A classic Beethoven trait where he spins one idea or theme out into huge works. The 5-beat element present almost everywhere in the 1st Movement is perfect example.

Number 2 – Johannes Brahms, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major, Opus 77, written in 1878.
"Depth and romanticism." He had to have been in love when he wrote this one!

Number 3 – Jean Sibelius, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Minor, Opus 47, written in 1903.
"Emotional, majestic, and exciting." Two outer movements, rough and rugged in nature are completely contrasted by the beauty of the slow middle movement. Which only has one long melodic line, repeated twice.

Number 4 – Peter Tchaikovsky, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major, Opus 35, written in 1878.
"A true blockbuster." This is the most popular violin concerto ever written, and with good reason. Written in a burst of happy inspiration, an audience favourite for over 125 years, and shows no signs of going anywhere.

Number 5 – Edward Elgar, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in B Minor, Opus 61, written in 1910.
"Victorian pomp and emotional sensitivity all rolled into one." Maybe I like this so much because of its 'Englishism'! The depth of emotion, genuine sentimentality, regal dignity, and consummate virtuosity inherent in this music is all perfectly combined.

This is by no means an official top 5. Just simply my own pickings of popular and prestigious concretos. As I write this, who knows, my own choice may have changed.
