Solid Strings Book I
Solid Strings is a comprehensive string method that combines the pedagogy of acclaimed orchestral educator Marcy A. Sudock with the innovative format of our First Semester Workbooks for band. The result is a unique learning environment designed to ensure the success of beginning string students. Book I features large print, easy to read string diagrams and highly instructive photographs throughout. Each new musical concept is reinforced with fun written exercises.
Students make music almost immediately with three note songs in two keys. Other selections include three winter holiday songs, the famous Theme from Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, and the Elastic Orchestra pop hit The Next Big Thing!
