I know how to play guitar and a little piano, and I’m fairly good at music theory. So what would be the best violin book for me to learn from?

One of the better violin music books to start out with is the Suzuki Violin School. It’s easy to find them and I thought they were very helpful when I first started private violin lessons. You’ll find as you get more experienced, that the Suzuki violin School books aren’t as great. Once you get around book six of the Suzuki violin School, try playing some other music like Bach’s Sonata’s and Partitas.

Specifically a shoulder rest and rosin.
