String Basics

String Basics Book 3 continues with a strong pedagogy and step-by-step sequences of instruction preparing students for grade 3 performance literature and beyond. Book 3 opens with independent instrument tuning and then a critical review section allows students to be prepared by shifting and position work, new major and minor keys, the chromatic scale, and advanced note values and rhythm combinations. All are reinforced with technical exercises and a wide sampling of classical and cultural music. Book 3 concludes with vibrato development exercises, specially designed for heterogeneous classrooms. Each student book and Teacher's Edition comes with a DVD containing video lessons and accompaniment practice tracks.
