Beginner Praise for Violin

By 5 Comments

This book recently came to my attention. It has easy to play arrangements for violin and piano. I could see some of you using the songs in this book for playing in church or small group settings. It’s so important to start playing in front of ‘audience’ as a new player of any instrument.

The only thing I wish it had were the guitar chords too! Although, it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to figure them out. Can you imagine, a family with a violist, pianist and guitarist having material like this to play together? They look like very lovely arrangements for the beginner to intermediate player.
