Strings in Step is an invaluable resource for both group and individual tuition. Violin, viola, and cello pupils can enjoy learning together as the exercises and pieces are compatible for all three instruments. The books have a clear structure, and include a wide range of repertoire (all specifically designed to be played in mixed groups), plus a wealth of additional material to help reinforce progress.

Book 1 for violin, viola, and cello include a CD featuring performances of all the pieces and exercises with piano accompaniments and some additional backing.
