"All my students have purchased your scale book. Good work!"
Naomi Engle, Suzuki Violin Teacher, Washington DC
"My newest violin student, a beginner, is 79 1/2 years old! He is driven to make up for lost time and didn't wish to spend much time on "method books." He wanted to play songs and the Song Book was a perfect place for him to start. All the songs are familiar so he knows when he needs to make a correction in pitch. He loves the book. It is with h is encouragement that I give the Song book 5 stars! "
Susan Giannantonio, Violin Teacher, San Antonio, Texas
"I discovered your scale book recently and was delighted to find something that I could use with students of all levels. I like your Christmas carol book also. Great job! And the covers are so pretty, too. Not childish, so I can use them with beginning college students."
Terri Moon, Violin Teacher, Colorado Springs, Colorado

"I enjoy the Sacred Songs, Hymns and Spirituals book. It has all of my favorite hymns in it. I appreciate that all of the music is in first position for the violin."
Ida Lyon, Violinist, Minneapolis, Minnesota
"Simply violin offers fantastic teaching tools (for example, their scale book) and entertaining Christmas Music Books, among other innovative materials. I have a student whose outlook on her violin changed dramatically when she realized she could have FUN working on Simply Violin Christmas music in her practice sessions and lessons, while learning at the same time. A big "Thank You" to everyone at Simply Violin for the excellent materials you produce!"
Krista Broadway Swider, Violin Teacher, St. Paul, Minnesota
"I highly recommend the Simply Violin Scale and Arpeggio book. It is well written, well thought out, and based on the technical advice of Carl Flesch himself. Most importantly, perhaps, is that this book is incredibly accessible. It is one book that a teacher can recommend to a student at any level. I applaud Ms. Berman’s work and encourage violin teachers and students everywhere to take advantage of this wonderful book."
