| Description: This book presents common rhythm patterns in various time signatures, beginning with the most basic and progressing toward syncopation and odd meter. Each rhythm is introduced with a simple open string warm-up or scale, then put into practice with songs from all over the world. Unison melodies for violin, viola, cello, and bass stay in easy keys and ranges so the player can focus on the rhythm without other technical challenges. Instrument books can be used in the individual lesson setting with a separate piano accompaniment book. Or, a conductor score is available for use in the string orchestra classroom. Included piano accompaniment tracks provide a fun and helpful play-along experience. Explore the world of rhythm and song as you embark on the journey toward independent musicianship! |
