Can’t wait to dive in!
The book came early. I immediately started sorting through the pages. I couldn’t get thru them fast enough. It looks so compelling. Can’t wait to dive into the content and teach myself how to play the violin. It sure does make it look easy we shall see. I’ll start tomorrow!!

Breaks down the process from how to hold the mandolin to how to play. Also taught what not to do so as not to learn bad habits that you may need to unlearn later. I would recommend this book.
