Beginner violin songs and coloring for kids
Violin Song and Coloring Fun Book (A and E String Version)
What Is This Book?
Violin Song and Coloring Fun Book (A and E Version) is a beginner-friendly violin book that combines simple songs on the A and E strings with engaging coloring pages. Each piece appears twice—once with letter names inside oversized noteheads and once without—to gently transition children into real music reading. Original artwork and clear layouts make it a fun first song book and an early keepsake of your child’s music journey.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for young beginners, typically ages 5–10, who are learning to play violin on the A and E strings. It works well for school string programs, Suzuki and traditional private lessons, homeschool music study, and independent home learners. Teachers can also mix and match this edition with other Music Fun Books for ensemble groups and beginning string classes.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The book uses extra-large notation so young players can see notes clearly and track the music without frustration. Many songs appear with letter names printed inside the noteheads, helping children connect finger patterns with staff reading before moving to “no-letter” versions. Each page contains only a limited amount of material, with clean, uncluttered layouts and simple diagrams and charts so kids (and parents) are never overwhelmed. Step-by-step, easy-to-read instructions guide children through the basics in a fun and accessible format.
What Music Does the Book Include?
The book offers a large selection of classic, time-tested children’s songs and beginner-friendly melodies arranged for the A and E strings. The pieces focus on simple, singable tunes that support early note reading, basic rhythm patterns, and confident bow use. Arrangements are simplified to keep young students successful while still sounding musical and satisfying to play.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
Yes. Each song is paired with an original coloring page on the facing page, turning practice time into a creative art-and-music activity. Children can color while listening to others play, during breaks in lessons, or as a reward after learning a new piece, reinforcing their connection to the music in a playful way.

In the classroom, it can support group violin classes, sectionals, and ensemble warm-ups, especially when combined with the same series for other instruments.
