How the student learns the left hand

Here's a quote from the book

"The reason you use the fingers of your Left Hand is to change the sounds that your violin makes. When you can change the sounds, you can play many different violin songs.

You must learn to play the simple songs first. Soon, you will find that you will be able to play the harder songs with the very fast notes. To be good, your Left Hand will have to be placed in a very special way, so you can reach the notes easily."

Parents Ask:

I've heard that learning to play an instrument gives children a tremendous advantage with their reading skills, and so they do much better in school. Is this true?

Yes. Tests have shown, Students who play the Violin find they do better in school academics, gain self-esteem and leadership qualities.

I don't know anything about the violin. So, how can I help my child play the right notes so that they sound correct?

Parents are given a special guide in the Appendix, simple enough even a "Tone-deaf" parent can help a child make their songs sound right! Check out Pages 95-107.
