The eMedia My Violin Kit is Perfect for Beginners
Introducing the all-in-one eMedia My Violin Kit. This kit is perfect for beginners, it contains everything you need to play the violin: a quality violin with bow and carrying case, plus rosin and cloth. What's more, it includes a great teacher--the new award-winning eMedia My Violin CD-ROM (for Windows & Mac computers).  | Learn Quickly with eMedia's Interactive My Violin SoftwareThe eMedia My Violin interactive educational software is what sets this violin kit apart from all the others. An animated character named Val the Violin guides students through over 160 lessons, teaching them the core elements of violin playing. Authored and demonstrated by professional violinist Sabina Skalar, M.M., the method is great for kids and everyone young at heart. | | eMedia My Violin teaches with the help of videos and live recordings of songs. An animated fingerboard shows correct placement for fingers as the music plays, and MIDI tracks let you adjust the speed. My Violin's revolutionary new Finger Tracker actually listens to your violin playing and shows whether your fingers are placed correctly, and how to adjust them. Colorful MIDI accompaniments make practicing fun. |  |  | Additional valuable software tools such as an automatic tuner, metronome and digital recorder are also included. eMedia My Violin first covers such basics as proper violin, hand and finger position, the elements of correct bowing technique, how to tune the instrument, and play rhythmic tunes. It continues on with popular songs and an introduction to reading music notation. All throughout, it is interspersed with interactive games that make learning fun and easy. | | The instrument itself has a spruce top with maple back and sides. Other parts are of dyed hardwood with a metal alloy four tuner tailpiece. The violin has been meticulously set-up and packed in a protective cloth. The bridge is in place, the strings are loosened for shipping. The bow is made of wood, and rosin for the bow is included. The sturdy carrying case has light foam padding as well as a handle and shoulder strap. Click to view violin |  |  | The violin comes in 3 different sizes to accommodate various ages: 1/8 size (usually for ages 5-6), 1/4 size (usually for ages 7-8) and 4/4 full size (usually for ages 12 & up through adult). The eMedia My Violin Kit is the perfect way to introduce children or anyone young at heart to playing violin!

Before purchasing a full fledged violin without knowing if my child would want to play, this was a great way to teach my daughter how to hold the violin, use the strings and bow as well as determine if this was something she would be interested in. I found the kit to be a great value and very useful as an introduction to a musical instrument.

When I brought this violin to a professional to be tuned (watching the DVD was no help to us), she laughed in my face, saying, "This is just a toy...it's not really meant to play music." The bow doesn't make any musical sound when run across the strings -- because the strings are just for "playing" with. This is NOT an instrument -- it's a very, very expensive piece of junk. DO NOT BUY THIS -- unless you want to feel like an idiot, like I do. This was a X-Mas present for my 5-year old and now she's left with nothing. I'm going to try to return it....

I bought this violin for my 6 year old daughter and when we finally got it the strings could not be tensioned to be tuned.
When you turn the tuning pegs they just turn right back once you let go!
