What matters in use
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 01
The student's line only. The accompanying piano part is published separately and is not in this book.
Detail 02
The entry point of a numbered series. Progress means buying Volume 2 and up as the student advances.
Detail 03
Written for viola, so a violin student cannot read it without transposing. Buy the edition matching the instrument.
Detail 04
Sized and bound for a music stand and daily practice rather than for library reference.
Detail 05
Cheap enough to buy a spare. Useful, since first-year books take real wear.
