Things to consider
Start with Book 1 for your instrument to establish fundamentals, then move sequentially through Books 2 and 3 as students master each level. The CD and digital downloads provide accompaniment playback for home practice, which reinforces rhythm and intonation work between lessons. If you're teaching multiple string instruments, each instrument has its own part book, so students aren't reading transposed parts meant for a different voice.
