String Basics Solos Book 2 features a collection of 19 solos for recitals, festivals, informal gatherings, or just for fun. This collection includes a mix of classical themes, folk songs, and original solos by Jeremy Woolstenhulme. The solos correlate with String Basics Book 2 and most level 2 method books. Solos progress in difficulty from beginning to end. All instruments have the same set of solos. This solo collection is the perfect supplement for students who do not have a private studio teacher and want to play solo literature.

The piano accompaniments by Kirt Mosier are available in a separate book and recorded audio tracks are available for download by using the Kjos Interactive Practice Studio (IPS). The IPS features three tracks for each solo. Track 1 is a complete performance performed by a professional violinist with piano accompaniment. Track 2 is a complete performance of the solo played by either a violist, cellist, or bassist with piano accompaniment. Track 3 is an accompaniment-only track provided for play-along opportunities.
