Leve
l 2 builds on the
concepts introduced in
level 1 by opening with a
review of the major and
minor fingering patterns
on all four strings.
Attention throughout the
method is given to
presenting material that
makes use of the entire
tonal range of the
instrument in the first
position for the upper
strings, and the first
three positions for the
lower strings. Five
ensembles and two duets
round out Level 2.
Suitable for concerts,
the ensembles include
America; We Shall
Overcome; Amaryllis;
Surprise Symphony Theme;
and Military March.
Suitable for any class
size or instrumentation,
all string parts have the
melody and one harmony
part. The Teacher
Score/Keyboard books for
Levels 1 and 2 include
piano accompaniments for
much of the program music
and ensembles. Especially
composed for educators
with modest piano-playing
skills, the
accompaniments can also
be played by piano
students who wish to
become involved in the
ensemble experience.
