    Solid Book for Quick Violin Requests

    As a gigging violinist, this book is a practical addition. The 'First 50' series provides simple, streamlined violin solo arrangements that get right to the melody. While there are no chord symbols (as expected for solo violin), the arrangements are standard enough for most casual requests. Handy for quickly learning a recognizable tune without deep preparation. Good range of genres too.

    So Much Fun to Play!

    I absolutely love this violin songbook! As an adult learner, it’s thrilling to finally play songs I recognize, like 'Theme from Schindler's List' and 'Hallelujah.' The arrangements are 'late beginner to early intermediate,' making them totally achievable for my weekend practice sessions. They sound surprisingly full for solo violin, capturing the song's essence. Great for enjoyment and relaxation!
