I want to start violin but im in a situation where i have to use books/cd`s/tapes.....not dvd`s or movies..no internet.. If nebody has reccomendations plz post.

Why can`t you get a teacher?

Personally, I think you need a good teacher to start out. Learning bad habits from the get-go will haunt you for a very long time. Just my humble opinion.

Even a good high school student can help you, if you are a beginner. Just a thought. Once you get the basics down, then the CDs will help. But I wouldn`t recommend just learning from a CD. You need to learn how to hold the violin, position your fingers, bow correctly, etc. You can`t get this without seeing someone else do it. Again, this is just my personal opinion.
