Songs are part of the childhood. This collection aims to offer a variety of songs for string ensembles, such as young string orchestras or string classes. Included are older and newer songs, songs of various origins, and songs for different occasions and with themes ranging from animals to seasons and times of day to tongue-in-cheek scary subjects.Taking up the motif of diversity in their own way, the six-part arrangements are not confined to the usual cadence harmonies and accompaniment forms, There is something special to discover in each of the songs. Small vignettes with lyrics to them are found in the parts, and can be taken up in rehearsals and lessons.The songs begin with fingering positions and bowing techniques that are usually learned at the beginning of lessons, then gradually increase in difficulty, though the booklet as a whole is set at the elementary level. Suggestions for improvisation and pieces for practicing certain requirements round out the booklet. Special emphasis is placed on playing together - true to the title: Together on Strings!

Have Fun with the Double Bass is a unique publication that adds joy and variety to learning the instrument. It includes many songs that children will be familiar with and can sing along to, thus making practising easier and more fun. Gerd Reinke has paid great attention to detail as he covers the essential basic skills for a budding double-bass player such as rhythmic exercises, posture and technical terms. The short exercises can be accompanied by the teacher on the double-bass or the piano and make the players curious about many more 'bass-related' journeys of discovery. May the young bassists do well and enjoy this method! Univ. Prof. Christine Hoock Universitat Mozarteum Salzburg.
