Product Description
Children (and adults) who learn a musical
instrument will always progress at different rates. Students also develop some
of the many skills involved in instrumental playing faster than other skills.
The
Mixed Abilities School Ensemble Series for Easy String Orchestra has the flexibility
to allow pupils of different standards to play together in one ensemble (up to
five parts).
Each piece has a total of 5 different parts
which are fully interchangeable between violins, violas and cellos (double
basses can double the cello parts). So whether you have 15 violins and a viola,
or 3 violins, or 4 cellos or whatever, the pieces will still work well
together. All parts are provided for all instruments.
Part 5 uses long notes on open strings. The
other parts gradually increase in difficulty up to Part 1, which uses first and
second positions. The teacher should select appropriate parts for the players
in the group.
WHAT A LOVELY STROLL is the first piece in this series, and follows a traditional ternary form.
Please listen to the mp3 file, which is an electronic example of the piece being played with 4 violin parts and a cello on Part 5.
The purchaser of this product may print as many copies of the parts as required in order for the piece
to work successfully with the ensemble. They must not copy, print or distribute
the score or parts for others who have not purchased the product independently.
