ABCs of Violin Have you always wanted to play the violin but thought it was too difficult? Or have you previously studied violin and wish to take it up again? Author Janice Tucker Rhoda will be using The ABCs
of Violin for the Absolute Beginner, the first book from her
path-breaking series, The ABCs of Strings. Her method makes learning to play a bowed string instrument easy and enjoyable! Have fun playing popular folk, classical, and fiddle tunes while focusing on correct posture, basic music reading, and rhythm. Easy duets are played! The book is required; stores that inexpensively rent violins or sell them at reasonable prices are listed below!

Register online: http://www.ccae.org Sign up for an 8 week Tuesday evening course, 5:45-7:15pm. Course is offered Fall Winter Spring or Summer semesters! Student Testimonials Dear New Violin Students, Several stores listed below rent instruments at reasonable rates, and they are of good quality. If you own a violin, PLEASE visit one of these stores to be sure it is in good working order before attending the first class! Students who attend the classes with slipping or sticking PEGS, crooked BRIDGES that do not fit the violin, or broken STRINGS surely do not have the satisfying experience other students have. These problems should be fixed ahead of time by a master luthier at one of the stores. I’m not equipped in class to fix these things. I expect all students to practice a minimum of 15 minutes three times per week. This class moves quickly and you will be amazed at the progress! Be sure to come to the first class with your music book, The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner, Book 1. Students enjoy using The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner DVD and CD, and progress extremely well when using them as a supplement.
The ABCs of Violin Books, DVDs and CDs can be purchased at the stores listed below or Harvard Coop's Textbook section on the 3rd floor, Brattle Street entrance only. There is a big CCAE sign by the registers! I’m looking forward to meeting you at our first violin class!
