String Sheet Music

Shinichi Suzuki's method books across volumes 1-4 for violin and 1-3 for cello are the collection's anchor. Teachers rely on Joanne Martin's I Can Read Music, Volume 1 for early-stage violin students. Mary Cohen's Scaley Monsters for Violin brings pedagogical rigor to scale work, while Kerstin Wartberg's Step by Step 1A guides students through foundational practice habits with online audio support.

Recent additions include Bohuslav Martinu's Sonatina in G and Pablo de Sarasate's Spanish Dances (Books 4 and 5), both for violin with piano. Milton Babbitt's Dual pairs cello and piano, and Bernhard Gander's RIFF23 offers a contemporary solo cello option.

Mary Cohen brings over sixty educational publications for strings to print with a pedagogical approach that spans absolute beginner through advanced player. Her work is widely adopted by major examining bodies worldwide, and she studied at the Royal College of Music after years performing with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

Shinichi Suzuki's method series defines early string instruction for countless teachers. The Suzuki Violin School volumes remain the most popular titles in this collection, anchoring a systematic approach to foundational technique and repertoire.

Kerstin Wartberg's Step by Step series emphasizes successful practice habits from the start, pairing written instruction with recorded accompaniments that students can hear and follow at home.
