Strong match

Who this is for

  • First-year school orchestra violinists
  • Private beginner students whose teacher assigns String Basics
  • Adults starting violin who want a graded sequence

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Viola, cello or bass players — separate editions exist
  • Players past first year looking for etudes or repertoire
  • Anyone wanting a fiddle or by-ear approach

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 01

Level 1

Entry point of the series. Begins with open strings and basic note reading rather than assuming any background.

Detail 02

Violin edition, 115VN

Violin-specific fingerings and clef. Matches the viola, cello and bass books so a full orchestra can play together.

Detail 03

String Basics series

Part of a graded set. Books 2 and 3 continue the same sequence if the student stays with it.

Detail 04

ISBN 0849734835

Use this to confirm you're getting the exact edition your teacher listed, not a similar-looking one.

Detail 05

Music book format

Softcover consumable. It gets written in, so buying used often means someone else's answers are already there.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No violin, bow, rosin or shoulder rest included
  2. 02Check the edition number against your teacher's list before ordering
  3. 03Verify it's violin, not the viola or cello edition

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.
