I am a music teacher and bought this for a student. This is an excellent series of books for beginning violinists who are not familiar with music notation, and want to learn about reading music notation at the same time as starting violin. As a violin teacher I can say this book has always worked well for my students.

Yes, SS is a great series and this review is not a knock on the effectiveness of the ACTUAL book one, but if you enlarge the picture, it clearly says Book 2. Now I have to order my daughter a second book.EDIT: the description and title are now correct. Thanks for editing your title to indicate that this is actually book 2. I'm still not thrilled that I had to buy 2 books, but at least hopefully no one else will be confused and buy the wrong book due to a bad description.

I have been playing violin since I was 9 years old, and Strictly Strings has been the first choice for music books. I have used Book 1, and this is the perfect installment. It has a familiar layout as other Strictly String books, and includes many of the basic skills seen in Book1. This gives a good introduction to players who may have taken a great from practicing violin because it gives a brief overview of what was seen in Book1. This music book goes more in depth by extending its lesson and introducing more techniques and vocabulary. Although I have not used this book since i finished it long ago, some of my favorite songs to play were "Chop-Sticks", "La Cucaracha","A Scary Night", and "The Jolly Sailor". There are much more, but those songs were enjoyable to play because they were familiar and the material in the songs were fun to play. "A Scary Night" was fun to play because of it was a duet and had a lot of tremolos. Other songs were fun because they had a familiar tune and were fast.Strictly Strings Book2 also introduces other time signatures, keys, and notes on the violin. Illustrations are included in this book, which turns out to be very helpful when it comes to form and posture. The songs gradually get more and more difficult as it progresses. The end of Book 2 perfectly transitions smoothly into Book3, as expected. Overall, this book is perfect for violinists who are ready to learn and extend their knowledge. The only negative thing i have to say about this book is that i wish Strictly Strings complied all these together, because each book is rather short, consisting of ~40 pages.

Thank you so much for this book. My son has been waiting for it. It did take rather long in the mail, but i think that is my PO problem!Thank you again - no more photo copies lying around!

I suggest that anyone trying to learn how to play violin should get this book! I found it very helpful and it was easy to get through.
