Orchestra Expressions, Vol. 2 takes students' musical knowledge to new heights by bringing the immediacy and dynamics of the real world into the music classroom. Previously learned material is reinforced and given added depth, dimension, and meaning when it is viewed in the context of history, culture, and students' own everyday experiences. Unique elements include: four-fingers-down start for every instrument, separate but simultaneous development of both hands, Bass begins in III position developing early shifting. Orchestra arrangements by Sandra Dackow and a final full orchestra concert piece are included.
