Janice Tucker Rhoda
Janice’s books are fantastic! I’ve been using her material to teach my students violin for over 10 years, it is very easy to use for beginners, contains variety of styles and it progresses with each level. I suggest to visit this site to find valuable links (like where to purchase her books) and samples of music from her books and CDs.
