Queenwood Beginning String Orchestra Collection

This affordable collection provides a wealth of practical and musical repertoire for young string players. More advanced groups will also find it beneficial as sight-reading material. This collection has been carefully edited for young string players having completed at least one year of instruction. It will sound full and complete with as few as two violins, viola and cello, or three violins and cello. Rarely going beyond first position, it will reinforce newly learned notes and bowings and allow students and teachers to use their imagination and creativity in developing musicality. The full score includes complete program notes and rehearsal suggestions, and there is a CD recording by professional musicians.
