Ensembles for Guitar, Vol. 1

These arrangements provide a variety of interesting and challenging material for Suzuki guitar students who are beyond Book 1 and are playing in a Suzuki guitar group class. The arrangements allow students of all levels the opportunity to perform together with the Book 1 repertoire. These arrangements include the original melodies transposed one octave higher, an obbligato melody that poses technical challenges to advanced students, a simple chordal accompaniment that gives the Book 2 student excellent free-stroke arpeggio practice, and a bass part that gives the student practice in reading the lower ledger lines. These parts work well together but can also be used with the original melodies.
