| Description: First Things First is a collection of traditional folk songs, classical themes, rounds and original pieces representing over ten countries and styles from around the world. The compositions are arranged to be extremely versatile in meeting the needs of your beginners in an elementary level string orchestra. Each instrument has the melody line as well as an additional harmony line. Keys, rhythms, and ranges have been kept within the earliest technical limits of the beginning string class. For added musical interest, left hand pizzicato and sound effects such as knocks and squeaks are included in several pieces throughout the collection. |
