JumpStart First Concert for Strings

All the research reinforces the positive effect of performing a "first concert" with your beginning string players as soon as possible, and this collection was written to help you create a successful and exciting event. The 13 pieces in this book use only the notes and skills covered in the first 10 to 12 pages of most method books. Five are pizzicato, and four others may be performed pizzicato or arco, providing you with the flexibility to select material that matches your students' abilities. The easy piano accompaniments do a lot to add variety to the concert, and five of the compositions include accompaniment tracks that will make your students feel like they are on the soundstage of a major movie studio.
