Strings Are Fun, Level 1

Strings Are Fun is made up of program pieces which are easy to play and are full-sounding, harmonized arrangements. It can be used throughout the first year of string instrument instruction. The notes required to play each arrangement are given at the top of each piece. Learning just a few notes and rhythms enables a class to start playing from the book. Additional notes and rhythms are gradually encountered as the class progresses through the book. It begins with all players bowing together. Parts gradually develop some independence as progress is made, but rhythms and bowings are always easy.
