Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 1: 2 Violas

This type of training is excellent preparation for participation in large groups. The study of string instruments should include ensemble playing at the earliest possible stage. Each player learns how to listen to the other, and in a short time develops an awareness of balance, musical phrasing, intonation, and tone quality. They should be used in string classes as a supplement to any of the standard string methods. They may be played by two performers, or by multiple performers on each part, with or without piano accompaniment.. There is much to be gained from the playing of duets. These duets are ideal for recitals in the public schools and in public school festivals. They will also encourage music making outside of the school, with parents or with other students. These four volumes of duets for two violins will help fill the need for early ensemble experience in the public schools

Christiana Russell said Happy with Purchase.. Bought the book for my daughter who plays the viola.It was recommended by her music teacher.. Piano acc for Chamber Music for two instruments: Cellos v2 and v3 David The piano parts make the "Chamber Music for Two players (cello)" v2 and v3 quite suitable for two students at level 2 or 3 to use in recitals and are not difficult for the accompanist. While the duet volumes are suitable to use without accompaniment, the accompaniment furthers the students' musical experience.
