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
Viola part only
Alto clef, viola-specific fingerings. Violin, cello and bass players each need their own book.
Detail 03
String orchestra method
Parts are written to line up across the section, so a full class can play the same exercises together.
Detail 04
Single part book
This is a student book, not the teacher score. Conductors need the separate score edition.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your program uses Book 2 and not the Book 1 level
- 02Teacher score and piano accompaniment are sold separately
- 03Check whether your school expects the version with included media access
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same as Book 1?
No. Book 2 is the follow-on level and assumes the material from Book 1 is already covered.
02Will this work for violin?
No. This is the viola part in alto clef. Violin students need the violin edition of the same book.
03Can I learn viola from this on my own?
It is built for classroom use with a director. Self-teachers will find little standalone instruction.
04Does one book cover the whole section?
No. Each player needs the book for their own instrument.
