Things to consider
The Strictly Strings series is built for parallel learning, so if you're directing a string ensemble, purchase the same book level across all four instruments to keep your students progressing together. Each book includes piano accompaniment parts, which makes rehearsals and performance more engaging. Start with Book 1 regardless of the instrument; the series follows a careful pedagogical sequence that isn't meant to be skipped.
