This method can be used by a single student, a small group, or string orchestra. Consisting of fifty-six exercises and four complete performance pieces at the easy level, it provides a progressive set of studies within the familiar key of D, so that strong emphasis can be placed on the accurate phrasing and bowing of basic swing patterns. All exercises and the four performance pieces are on the CD, and each book contains three melody lines and chord symbols, offering a variety of performance options. It's solid jazz pedagogy for strings!
