You find that most of the titles are links that will bring you directly to a website where you may purchase the music in our preferred editions. They serve as a foundation for much of our instruction at the String Academy and we provide them as a resource for other teachers and students alike. If you want the contents for book three let me know.The following violin repertoire lists have been compiled over many years of teaching and experience by Mimi Zweig and Dorothy Delay.

This is where I get my support when I get discouraged. And of course there is always the great people here at Fiddlerman.

It's small enough to fit in your violin case and you can look up terms and symbols that are not familiar. Another good book to have is Essential Dictionary of Music Notation. If I feel like I have a good grasp then I move to the next page. Then during the remainder of the week I work on the correlating pages of exercises in the etude book. The way I use the books are like this: there is an accompanying etude book for each one (though the one for the first book is near impossible to find as it is out of print) so I study one page a week from the method book and let that be my 'lesson' for the week. It's not etched in stone but I like to see how it all compares. Book two and three of string builder both have a difficulty of two so I figure that by the time I make it through book 3, I should be out of beginner level according to the chart. list Suzuki book 1 & 2 as a level one under 'graded repertoire' and on the music site it lists the string builder book 1 and suzuki book 1 as having a difficulty level of one so to me it seems that they should be about equivalent.
