Strictly Strings Book 1

Your beginning string students can be playing real orchestra music in about four months! They'll be playing music in three-part harmony with enthusiasm and expression, and with all four instruments playing on all four strings. This method uses a unique letter-note style of music notation that ensures a smooth transition from rote learning to note reading. Your students will develop a strong understanding of pitch and pulse and will quickly progress to staff notation. Includes over 60 rich and varied musical selections: folk songs, famous classical melodies, symphonic themes, and original compositions. Seven string orchestra arrangements are strategically positioned throughout the book to give your students full ensemble experience. This progressive string method will help your string classes build musicianship from their very first day and will greatly enrich your entire string program! (Books 1, 2, and 3 are available.)
