The title is truth in advertising: this is about learning to cross strings as well as skipping fingers and developing proper hand position and finger independence. Some enjoyable knocking and other sounds give students the opportunity to have a little say in how the final product sounds.

This stunning arrangement captures the expanse and beauty of Rachmaninoff's original full orchestra version. Deeply moving harmonies seem to melt into each other as the famous melody weaves its way through the work. The soaring musical lines capture the heart and will leave your audience breathless. A true masterwork and an equally powerful arrangement.

Level 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.

An absolute classic for strings, this version is in C major to avoid forward extensions for viola and violoncello. There is nothing out of first position except for a simple shift for violoncello and bass in a brief passage. A solo string quartet section gives the work a truly Baroque feel.
