Product Description
This volume contains four popular
Christmas songs for beginning string ensemble with mixed skill levels. They can
be played in any combination as duet or trio, as quartet, or as string
orchestra. There are parts for open strings only (arranged for both violin and
cello) and for a lead part and accompaniment in first position. The lead and
accompaniment parts include C# on the G string (third finger stretch) and, in
one case, a C on the E string (fourth finger stretch).
This is the third of a series of
easy ensemble pieces for mixed level players. You can see the other volumes at

Also, if you send me your email to
yoelepst@gmail.com, I
will send you any revisions I may make to this volume free of charge.
These pieces are part of a more
complete program for teaching strings in classes. You can read the entire
first-year program in the books Playing Together Student Workbook and Playing
Together: Teacher's Guide, both available on Amazon:
Teacher's Guide: https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Together-Teachers-Guide-teaching/dp/1534974598
Student Workbook: https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Together-Student-Workbook-2/dp/1535336617
I can also easily rearrange this for
other combinations of instruments, if you require. If you want to make changes
to suit your special needs, send me an email and I will send you the source
files for the pieces in Musescore format (a free and excellent music editing
program) or in Music xml, which you can use with Sibelius, Finale, or virtually
any other music editing program.
