Things to consider
The Learn to Play in the Orchestra series is the clear anchor here, so start with Book 1 if your group is new to ensemble reading. Each instrument has its own part book, so you'll need to order one copy per student plus a conductor or piano score. If you're mixing this with private lessons, the individual Learn to Play a Stringed Instrument books work well as companions to the ensemble material.
