Things to consider
Start with Learning Together Book 1 if your students are new to strings, then progress to Level 2 as they gain confidence. The online audio tracks let students practice independently and hear proper intonation, while the consistent approach across all four string parts keeps mixed ensembles balanced. Choose the digital download version if you need immediate access; the shipped books include physical pages your students can mark up and annotate.
