Orchestra Expressions: Violin - Book 2 (w/ CD)

Orchestra Expressions provides music educators at all levels with easy-to-use, exciting tools to meet daily classroom challenges and bring new vibrancy and depth to teaching music. The lessons were written based on the National Standards for the Arts in Music -- not retro-fitted to the Standards. The program is music literacy-based and satisfies reading and writing mandates in orchestra class. The pedagogy involves a "four-fingers-down" start for every instrument and separate but simultaneous development of both hands. 

Each student book features an attractive full-color interior with easy-to-read notes and includes: 

• A 59-track accompaniment CD that covers Units 1-15 (a second CD covering Units 16-33 is available separately) 
• Historical notes on some of the most notable composers of orchestral music 
• A thorough glossary of musical terms 
• Scales and warm-up exercises
