AlfredStrictly Strings Violin Book 2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second-level book in Alfred's Strictly Strings violin method. For a student who has finished Book 1 and is continuing, usually with a teacher or class.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving on after finishing Strictly Strings Book 1
- School orchestra programs already running the Strictly Strings series
- Private lessons needing a cheap, structured next book
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners — start at Book 1 instead
- Viola, cello or bass players; this is the violin part
- Anyone wanting a play-along-first approach rather than a printed method
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
Method book, not a songbook
Exercises build in order. Working front to back is the point; skipping around wastes it.
Detail 03
Violin edition
Written as the violin part only. Each player in a section needs the book for their own instrument.
Detail 04
Classroom string method
Paced for a teacher or group setting, with a director setting tempo and checking technique.
Detail 05
$9.99
Cheap enough to keep one copy at home and one in the case for class.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No violin, strings, rosin or music stand included — this is the book only
- 02Check your teacher or program uses Strictly Strings before buying; methods aren't interchangeable
- 03Confirm you need violin, not viola, cello or bass; each instrument has its own book
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 first?
For most students, yes. Book 2 continues the same sequence and starts past the basics of note reading, bow hold and first-position fingering.
02Is this for violin only?
Yes. The series publishes a separate book per instrument. Viola, cello and bass players need the edition written for theirs.
03Can I teach myself from this?
It's built for a teacher or class. Solo use works, but you lose the person checking your bow arm and intonation, which is where beginners drift.
04Why is it cheaper than most music books?
It's a single-instrument student part rather than a full score or a large collection, so it's thin and priced per player.
