| Description: More String Town Tunes is an exiting collection of favorite folk melodies, patriotic songs, classical themes and original tunes. This is a progressive book where each melody demonstrates a specific pedagogical challenge that helps students develop the techniques needed for playing a bowed string instrument. The music places emphasis upon bowing techniques, tone, intonation and musicianship. The harmonized melodies are in three-part harmony. The violin and viola play parts 1 and 2. The cello and bass play parts 1 and 3. These pieces can be played as duets or three-part ensemble pieces. The collection is a follow up to String Town Tunes (#34607), which includes 12 familiar melodies and is designed to guide the young musician towards the fundamentals of good string technique. |
