“The Violin Alive series is arguably the most comprehensive and useful teaching tool ever produced in Australia. Brilliantly simple and explicit, Fintan Murphy concisely breaks down every aspect of violin technique to allow students to gain the utmost benefit from their playing.”
– Stephen Chin, Principal String Teacher, Brisbane Grammar School Music in Action, Music News for Australian Educators, Spring 2006
“I would recommend the ‘Violin Alive’ series to all students who are serious about improving their technique and playing with great ease of movement. I have also benefited from the practice ideas in both my playing and my teaching and suggest that teachers (especially those just starting out) also invest in these wonderful resources.”
– Kirsty Humphrey, violinist and teacher in Toowoomba, Queensland. Stringendo, Journal of the Australian Strings Association (AUSTA), vol 27, no 2, October 2005
