The first book of the method that has revolutionized teaching, learning, and playing the violin. The O'Connor Method is essentially the American version of the Suzuki Method, taking the interested violin student from how to hold the violin all the way up to complex works. But, the song selection is not European baroque music like Suzuki is. In fact, the selection is not ALL one thing...it is a variety of what has influenced American music, such as bluegrass, Texas, Irish, Mexican, blues, classical, swing, gospel, and rock. The material is set up like this so that the student can head into any direction of genre they want. I have found the Method to be genius, and very helpful for both the student and the teacher. As a certified method teacher, I highly recommend using these books.
