Learning The Violin Does Not Need To Be Difficult!

All you need is the right information.

The violin has a reputation as THE hardest musical instrument to learn. Many people struggle for years to make the violin sound good, and many more people give up.

There's a good reason - without the proper guidance, it's very hard to make the violin sound good at all. Unlike a piano, or even a guitar, it's not possible just to 'have a go' and make a noise that is good to listen to.

But it doesn't need to be that way.

Why Struggle... When it can be Straightforward?

For years, I've seen beginner violinists try and play the violin without having any idea about how the different elements of the violin, the bow and the body work together. And that's a shame. Because knowing that is the key to making a beautiful sound.

It's not just the sound... you also need to know how the techniques all fit together at the same time to function efficiently and create an effective musical performance.

Enter... the Violin Action Guide!

During 2012 I'll be publishing the Online Violin Guide (online and PDF) - a highly comprehensive and clearly structured pathway for learning the violin, from total beginner to professional level.

In it, you'll learn:

  • How to build a consistent violin technique that will serve you well in concerts and when playing in orchestras
  • What to look for when learning music, to make sure you're doing justice to what the composer has written.
  • How to train yourself to perform in front of an audience in a confident way.
  • ... and much more!

This isn't any old 'how to learn the violin' book... this is a fully comprehensive, hold-your-hand, show-you-the-way walk-through of all the key principles of violin-playing, that allows YOU to take control of your own learning.

It's the perfect 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Violin'! A multi-purpose friend that will support the learning you do on your own and with your own teacher. A text to turn to for advice and motivation as you get to grips with the nitty gritty of learning the violin.

Pre-Order the Violin Action Guide Now,
Completely Risk Free!

The action-packed Violin Action Guide will be available for the great value price of £39, but you can pre-order it now for a ridiculous £3.99!

It's completely risk-free: if for any reason you aren't delighted with the guide, I'll refund your payment immediately, no questions asked.

This pre-order price won't be available for very long - I'll change it back to the real price of £39 as soon as I'm ready to publish. So if you want a bargain, please pre-order it now!

PS - this is the real deal: a completely new, bespoke learning pathway that I've laboured over for months and months (indeed, which has taken YEARS to craft). It's a fast-track through the most up to date thinking on violin playing that you'll get anywhere. Don't delay being a great violinist any longer... place an order today!
