Workbook for Strings, Book 2: Violin Book

Violin students in beginning and intermediate string programs who need structured preparation outside of ensemble rehearsal. This workbook is especially valuable for students balancing orchestra with other musical commitments and for programs where rehearsal time is limited.

Assign sections from this workbook as homework aligned to repertoire your orchestra is learning. When your ensemble is preparing a piece in a new key, have violins work through the relevant key signature and scale pages the week before rehearsal begins. You can also use it to assess individual knowledge of note names and finger patterns without eating up group time.

• Reading ledger lines and violin clef fluency
• Finger patterns across multiple positions
• Key signature identification and construction
• Recognizing and writing musical terminology and symbols
• Scale fingerings by key
