Violin Duets School.

A series available as violin duets or violin and piano.Whether a student or a great artist, the desire to make a beautiful sound is a constant in the life of any musician. Sound is the musician's voice, the means of communicating an artistic vision to the audience and it should be the aim for children of any age or standard to be engaged in good tone production.The inspiration for writing these pieces came to me from the wish to give the young children I teach music which would develop their ear for both good intonation and beautiful tone production. All the pieces have a strongly implied harmonic structure allowing them to be played without accompaniment. The purpose of the second violin part is therefore to enable the teacher to underline the harmony as well as to influence the student's tone production and intonation through his own sound, as much can betaught by good example. This music is also available for violin and piano with piano accompaniments written by Heidi Rolfe.Finally I think that children enjoy the challenge of expressing different moods and emotions musically, and I hope that the range of ideas implied by the keys and the titles of these pieces will fire their imagination. / 2 Violons

Violin Duets-These duets were written for a small boy away at boarding school in order that he could enjoy the tunes he played at home with his friends at school. He chose the names of the tunes.Grade: 2 - 5

These original compositions were first presented as Violin duets in Violin Playing Book Two. With small differences in the Violin part they have had expertly-written Piano accompaniments added by Sally Mays.

These pieces are written in varying styles so as to diversify the musical experience of the student. Including pull-out Piano accompaniment part.

for Violin - Volume 2: Advanced-The Carl Fischer Progressive Duets is a comprehensive publication of two volumes of graded duets that have been arranged or composed by Larry Clark and Doris Gazda. Larry and Doris have drawn on their extensive experience as school music teachers and prominent composer/arrangers to create a collection of duets that will be useful in a variety of performance situations. Playing duets is an excellent way for the student to build ensemble skills with a colleague or teacher.

Score and Parts-Viotti was one of the most important figures in the creation and development of the modern school of violin playing. He is perhaps better known for his prestige as a virtuoso than as a composer. Despite this his works were held in very high regard and many later composers are notably influenced by Viotti's works. For 2 Violins.

Viola-Violn-Many selections in this volume are unique and until now have been inaccessible to the string ensemble repertoire. These pieces are intended for multiple strings for performance in the classroom as well as performance in concerts.Several players may be used on each part. Whenever possible every effort was made to keep the viola and violoncello/double bass parts melodic rather than simply filling in the various harmonic chord progressions. The pieces maybe performed as a solo for each instrument (Violin 1 Violin 2 Viola or Cello) with piano accompaniment or as duets or trios as well as full orchestra. If performed with full orchestra the piano accompaniment is not necessary.The string ensemble series meets all standards for ASTA with NSOA (American String Teachers Association/National School Orchestra Association) and Suzuki Association of the Americas Inc. Free piano accompaniment AND ensemblescore downloads are available for use with this title.
