The ABCs of Viola for the Absolute Beginner, Viola, Book 1

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful book for beginning adults...
Review: This book is a great start to beginning adults' relationship with the viola. The exercises and warm-ups provide students with various opportunities to master specific skills before approaching the complexities of a piece. The selection of pieces are vast: folk songs, familiar tunes, ethnic songs and classical pieces. This makes it interesting and exciting for the adult student, whose musical taste can be diverse. I find that this book is a great introduction to the instrument without being scary, too easy, too childish or too complicated.
