Strictly Strings for Violin

Strictly Strings is an easy-to-teach, straightforward method created by three respected string educators and designed to help beginning players build strong fundamentals from the very start. With a clear lesson sequence and thoughtfully paced progression, the series supports steady growth in reading, technique, and ensemble skills for violin, viola, cello, and bass students.

A distinctive letter-note approach to notation helps bridge the gap between learning by rote and reading traditional music notation, allowing students to transition smoothly into full note reading. Players are introduced early to ensemble performance and enjoy a wide range of engaging melodies across different keys and modes, keeping lessons both educational and fun.

Carefully structured to develop all sections of the string class evenly, Strictly Strings works beautifully in classroom orchestra settings, small group instruction, and private lessons.

Features include:

• Clear, easy-to-follow lesson progression

• Letter-note notation for a smooth transition to music reading

• Early introduction to ensemble playing

• Varied, engaging repertoire in multiple keys and modes

• Balanced development across all string instruments
