The Belwin String Builder is a string class method in which the violin, viola, cello, and bass play together throughout. Each book, however, is a complete unit and may be used separately for class or individual instruction. The material in this book is realistically graded so that only a minimum of explanatory material is required. Each melody is interesting and will provide the basis for a fine left hand technic and bow arm. Available in three levels for violin, viola, cello, bass, piano accompaniment, and teacher's manual.

3suzuki daughter likes abcs of violin better  Jul 09, 2006 By Sue Suzuki parent
My daughter is studying Suzuki violin, so we got String builder and ABC's of Violin bk 1 to learn to read music. The ABC's is a lot easier because it starts on the 2 top strings like Suzuki does, but the String builder starts on the 2 middle strings--it's confusing for my daughter. It makes more sense to continue with the ABC's of Violin--it's a lot of fun, plus it fits in with Suzuki ideas. We're very happy with our choice.

I am a piano teacher myself and realize how important it is to learn to read music. Especially for little violinists who eventually play in school orchestra.

5I Finally Understand now...  Mar 12, 2011 By Broadway baby
I bought my Violin a year and a half ago. I've tried several Lesson types before(online, book, in-person) none of them were successful when it came to learning songs. thank you String Builder!

5It's A Good Book  Feb 08, 2011 By De L. Carroll
It was my 1st book as a beginner taking a college course being new to the violin. My instructor liked this book well enough to recommend it and I liked it as well.

4great for first-time note-readers  May 11, 2010 By Lori "redheads"
This book has a nice approach for the first-time note-reader. My daughter learned with the Suzuki Method but wanted to be able to play songs outside of the study program. A teacher recommended this book, and she is enjoying how it builds quickly enough to keep her interested, but slowly enough that she is learning to read the actual notes.

5The most friendly approach to learning how to play. Period.  Mar 20, 2007 By Boruta Di Lira
I knew nothing about playing music and musical notation, let alone playing a string instrument. I wanted to learn and did a bit of research on self-study books. In the end I bought a whole stack from various sources, including Suzuki. I found the String Builder to be the absolutely most logical and user friendly approach. All other books frustrated me, but String Builder is very easy to follow, and takes you through very logical exercises that are never boring or too hard. Step by step I learned about the rhythm, how to recognize and play various keys, even when to bow down or up. With no experience I am able to play basic melodies in but few weeks. And I only practice maybe 30min every other day.. All other books made me want to quit, I stuck only with this one.

There is a phenomenal gratification in learning how to play such a beautiful instrument..

If you want to learn you only need this book and maybe Teach Yourself: Music Theory by Margaret Richer. Don't spend money on anything else. Save it for a better violin :)
