"After seeing the 1st ABCs of Strings DVD, I was anxious to see this next one. I was NOT disappointed. The violin playing by the little girl was great as was the piano accompaniment by the young man. It even showed restringing the violin. Ms Rhoda always does a fine job of explaining and showing things. I can't wait for the DVD about the cello and bass."

Outstanding tool for violin practice

"This new intermediate level is very useful in helping my students to be motivated to practice violin. I've been teaching violin to students for many years but more recently have been using the ABCs of Violin beginner DVD with my students as reinforcement with excellent results. This new ABCs intermediate DVD is showing my students how to change a string as well as do bow hold strengthening exercises and the spiccato bow stroke. Best of all is the emphasis on good practice habits -- very useful ideas that I incorporated into my teaching just this week.

Playing along with the talented Japanese violinist after following the preparation steps suggested by Ms. Rhoda will make students feel more confident about playing and progress. The menu is easy to navigate -- a real plus since other violin instructional dvds I've looked at are not that easy for students to navigate and the sound quality and intonation (playing in tune) aren't as good as on this dvd. It's professionally done by professionally trained players and I am recommending it to all my students for review and reinforcement to my in-lesson teaching. It's difficult to find something at this level that is really good and inspiring. This is it."
