DVD Reviews of DVD-Learn To Play Irish Fiddle #1
DVD Review: Nothing special
Summary: 3 Stars
Frankly I haven't viewed the whole video because he almost put me to sleep with his laid back approach. Also, it is hard to see exactly which notes he is pressing on the fingerboard of the violin when he is teaching a tune. I guess this is the way people are supposed to learn this type of music but I would have preferred an actual reference to music and notes as opposed to just see him pressing down on the strings.DVD Review: Bad Instructional Video
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD, like a lot of others, assumes that you already know how to play the fiddle. I do wish that beginner videos were really for beginners. It would have been a total waste of money had it not come with sheet music so I could at least figure out what he was doing. I do not recommend this for anyone who does not already know the note placement on the finger board or for anyone who cannot play by ear.DVD Review: A MUST BUY FOR IRISH FIDDLE PLAYERS
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is a must buy if you want to learn the Irish fiddle from one of the best. Kevin burke teaches you each tune slowly than takes you up to full speed with some great slides, jigs and polkas. He teaches the correct way to bow that enhances that Irish sound along with all the grace notes and left handed techniques that will make your fiddle playing very impressive.DVD Review: Learn some lovely tunes quickly from an Irish fiddle master
Summary: 5 Stars
I've collected several instructional fiddle/violin dvds over the past year, and this one is by far the most enjoyable and clear to learn from. The tunes are easy to pick up for an advanced beginner and yet they are complex enough melody-wise for friends and family to enjoy. I actually LOVE playing each of these tunes. This was a nice change of pace from the Suzuki books I'm currently using. Good job, Kevin Burke and Homespun! Can't wait to get Kevin's #2 DVD.DVD Review: Was presently surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I play by ear and am taking fiddle lesson from a Sukuki Violin teacher. That is not the direction I want to go, although I am learning some basics. Kevin Burke's style of teaching and music is more the direction I want to go. I live in a rural area, so do have lots of choices for teachers and don't have time to drive far for lessons.
I have used DVDs successfully to help learn difficult software programs -so I thought I'd give this a try.
Was pleasantly surprised....just right for me.
