Reviews about Basics of Violin Playing:  Looks interesting. Eager to learn. by Vasi Klinker * VSM MEMBER * on June 2023As soon as I read the book and view the videos, I'll be able to post a review of the book
 At first sight it seem very good by Barbara Pini * VSM MEMBER * on March 2022I didn't have time yet to read the book.
I promise I rate your book as soon as I find time to read. Sincerely Barbara Pini Nice to be making recognizable music while learning by Jed * VSM MEMBER * on February 2022I am working my way through the book by myself. I'm on exercise 79 and I have found it to be a good mixture of concept and actually playing brief accessible bits which make me feel good like Grief or Pictures at an exhibition
Violin Basic by Vongsak * VSM MEMBER * on February 2013This article is the text document. Therefore question 1 & 2 are not
applicable but overall subjects of Basic of Violin Playing are very well written and inclusive. RECOMMENDED!!!! by Jen on January 2012I played violin in grade school, and decided to pick-up the bow again as a hobby. Virtual Sheet Music has been great, and I totally recommend it.
simple & useful by Zala * VSM MEMBER * on August 2011There are many books out today, that can help you learn various instruments, but if you want to learn violin, this is one of the good ones.
Although I am a professional violinist, it was fun for me to go through this book and remind myself of my own beginnings. I will use it when teaching children and especially adults, as they usually don't have much musical background, so the music theory and warming-up exercises are a great start for everyone. The book is a wonderful tool all in all for beginning to learn this beautiful instrument. Great book for adult learners by Sian Phillips * VSM MEMBER * on July 2011Most basics of violin books are aimed at children. This book has solved that problem.
I've only just started using it with my senior students and can already see that it's going to be a great asset to my teaching and their learning. Help a lot. by MARIANO S.P. * VSM MEMBER * on June 2011As a violin teacher I need easy to understand book just like this to help me to teach my students. It helps me a lot. I like this book.
Ferrari knows his stuff by Peter T. Bowen, BMus on June 2011I have found "Basics of Violin Playing" - based on the Italian Violin School written by Fabrizio Ferrari to be one of the finest teaching methods in existence.
It not only presents the beginner violinist with pictures of how to hold the bow and violin, it teaches proper posture and even teaches relaxation exercises, both prior to and after playing. The book goes on step by meticulous step to help develop a beginner's awareness of music and musical terms and their meanings. I've always said that, "it is easier to struggle through the learning process in the beginning, than have to go back and un-learn incorrect techniques"... The lessons teache the dedicated beginner properly and without any kind of struggle if followed methodically. I rate "Basics of Violin Playing" - based on the Italian Violin School, as "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED", Pete Bowen Note 2 Note School of Music Maple Ridge, BC (604) 240-0903 Violin Basics by akash * VSM MEMBER * on June 2011As a semi-professional violinist(Main Career: Physician,Scientist & Teacher) who has taught music to young people for many years, I find Mr. Ferrari's book a neat, concise yet comprehensive guide for young people and an excellent aid for teachers.
In addition, the notes on Vibrato are the clearest and most valid description in written texts that I have come across. As a compendium of terms, bowing techniques and music language, the Appendix is a valuable summary. The 'Physical Exercises and Relaxation' section is also to be highly praised as it emphasizes the vital importance of body-training for violinists. Overall, a valuable, authoritative and pleasant-to-read guide which, I feel, fills a very real need.
