Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the violin book or does it cover all strings?
Violin only, edition 115VN. String Basics publishes separate matching books for viola, cello and bass so an orchestra can work through the same material together.
02What level is Book 1?
Level 1, the first book in the series. It starts from the beginning — no prior violin or note-reading experience assumed.
03Can an adult beginner use this?
Yes. The pacing is aimed at school students, but nothing in the sequence depends on being in a classroom.
04How do I make sure I get the right edition?
Match ISBN 0849734835 and edition 115VN. Method series reprint often, and teachers usually want everyone on the same page numbers.
