Stringtast ic Book 2: Viola teaches through playing in an engaging exploration of musical styles. Part of the fully integrated Stringtastic series in which violin, viola, cello, and double bass can all learn and play together in any combination.

Learn as you play through the world of Stringtastic, with 62 imaginative pieces that have been specifically designed to establish a secure playing technique and build confidence one step at a time. Following on from Stringtastic Book 1, this book takes the student from Grade 1 (Early Elementary) to Grade 2 (Elementary) level. Featuring equal-level duets for all instruments, the pieces are ideal for individual and group tuition as well as flexible ensemble and classroom settings.

Every piece is supported by an exciting backing track plus a piano-only track for practice---all available to download. The Stringtastic Book 2: Teacher's Accompaniment book provides the complete piano score which works with any combination of the instrumental parts.

Mark Wilson and Paul Wood have developed an engaging and accessible new series of string-playing method books… The presentation will appeal to young learners, and the careful, well-conceived pedagogy will thrill their teachers! Furthermore, the Stringtastic integrated approach gives proper deference to the social aspect of music-making by allowing violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists to play together from the start. I look forward to sharing this method with my young students and colleagues in early music education.
