A MUST buy
I originally didn't intend on spending 10 dollars on music sheets as they can be easily obtained online. Nonetheless, I'm glad I did. The songs are optimized for beginners which is very helpful. 10/10

Great book
I love this book. Fast access with the download and print. Alison has done an amazing job for us newbies. I'm 61 and felt I was to old to learn. This collection of music eases you right into it, and before you know it you are playing the violin.

Just what I needed.
I needed pieces at my level and that's exactly what these are. They are well known and the links to the tutorials help me know if I am playing them right.

Fun
I like the book as a beginner. Would like to see a copy of the book that identifies the note.

Perfect for a beginner.
Having done lessons 1-10 I was dying to try some real songs. The companion book fit perfectly for the level I am at. I'm happily making my way through it and confidence is building as I move from song to song. If you're following Alison's lessons just buy the book, you'll love it!

I feel like I have private lessons with Alison Sparrow!
I am a long-time fan of Alison Sparrow. I have played my way through (at the age of 62 and a beginning violinist) her 100% free lessons and learned so much in the process. Now that she has made available downloadable music, I was quick to purchase. Book 1 is *exactly* what I need to practice the lessons and to build the confidence to become a better and stronger musician. I have also purchased her Book 2 and Book 2 Songs as well as her Simply Series. Following along with her instructional videos, I feel like I am truly coming along. Thank you so much for the generous time you give us and the focus and refinement of your videos

Good arrangements
I just picked up a violin after 45 years. It’s not exactly like “ you never forget how to ride a bike!” But I am going to keep with this. These songs are mostly recognizable and the arrangements are easy enough for beginners. I appreciate having them to play when I tire of scales, etc.

Good Beginner Intro Songs
This is a good follow-up from the 1-10 video lessons. There's a mix of 10 songs for beginners (most very easy, a few more challenging) that sound nice. Each one has a link to watch a video of the song being performed; which is helpful if you haven't heard that particular song again. The book is a downloadable PDF, so you don't have a waiting period for delivery. I had actually bought song book 2 first, but was glad to find a book 1 as the songs were a lot easier for a new player.
