Book 1 is designed for beginners, taking you from the very first steps all the way to playing Pachelbel’s Canon.
The structured approach has proven to be the best way to make fast and enjoyable progress, using a wide variety of musical styles such as classical, jazz, gypsy, Irish, Balkan, and world music.
Backing Tracks (BTs — accompaniment for all pieces and exercises) are also included.

Book 2, as a follow-up to Book 1, introduces double stops, different keys, various time signatures, and third position.

You can also study with videos and tutorials for every piece and exercise (not included in the book, but available below on this page under Book 1 Video Lessons).

Video Lessons from Book 1 and Book 2

Are you a “self-study” student, or do you follow physical lessons?

For the “Self-study” student these video lessons are ideal to get you through the whole course properly.
You can post your progress videos in the Creative Violin Facebook group and always get professional, personal feedback , so you’ll always stay on the right track.

For the student who has a physical teacher, using this method together with the videos not only speeds up the progress, but makes it more fun to practice.
You will never have to practie alone.
Results from this new way of studying are much better than the regular way of practicing.
