What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Student Edition
Contains only the student's part. The teacher's edition with full scores and lesson plans is separate.
Detail 03
Violin-specific book
Each instrument in the orchestra has its own book, so page numbers line up in class but the notes don't.
Detail 04
Book & CD 1
Audio accompaniment for practicing at home so parts sound complete without the rest of the section.
Detail 05
$11.99
Priced as a single student's classroom consumable, not a full method library.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book One first?
Yes, if you're starting out. Book Two continues the same sequence and assumes the skills built in the first book.
02Will this work for cello or viola?
No. This is the violin edition. Each instrument has its own book in the series.
03Is the CD required to use the book?
No, but it's included and useful for practicing alone since it fills in the parts you don't play.
04Can an adult learn from this alone?
It's built for a teacher-led classroom. Self-teaching is possible but you'd miss the group and instructional side.
