AlfredStrictly Strings Violin Book 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Book 1 of the Strictly Strings violin course. For a beginning violinist starting out, typically in a school string class.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A first-year violin student in a school string program
- Beginners whose teacher assigns this specific series
- Replacing a lost book mid-year without switching methods
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violists, cellists and bassists — those are separate books
- Students past first-year material
- Anyone wanting a purely self-taught path with no instructor
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
Violin edition
Written for the violin part. In a mixed string class each section buys its own instrument-specific book.
Detail 03
Under $10
Low enough that buying it for a student who may not stick with violin isn't a real risk.
Detail 04
Class-method format
Built to be worked through in order with a director, so skipping around undercuts how it's sequenced.
Detail 05
Print book
Marks up easily with pencil for fingerings and bowings, which is how students actually use it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your school or teacher uses this series before ordering
- 02No violin, rosin, shoulder rest or audio accompaniment is included
- 03Make sure you're buying the violin edition, not another instrument's
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for a complete beginner?
Yes. Book 1 is the entry point of the series, written for a student's first year on the instrument.
02Does it come with a CD or play-along audio?
Nothing beyond the book itself is included here. If your teacher expects accompaniment tracks, source those separately.
03Can my cellist use the same book?
No. This is the violin edition. Each instrument in the series has its own book with the correct part and fingerings.
04Can I teach myself from this?
It's built for classroom or lesson use with a director. Without a teacher, nothing catches bow hold and intonation problems early.
