It'd be best to email Marla about this. Here's her contact page but I know right now she's teaching at the California Coast Music Camp and has limited web access from there, according to Mike Compton, who I've spoken with this week.

I've been waiting for this for a little while since she announced it on her mailing list. So glad it's finally coming out and am so looking forward to getting a copy from her.

This is the reply i got back from Marla:
"Thanks for your interest in the DVD! Yes, its perfect for a beginner - there is introductory material at the beginning of the DVD that is then built upon through the teaching of the tunes".
I have ordered a copy directly from her and looking forward to receiving it in the next few days.
It's $30 plus shipping. She will let you know how much if you contact her.
