Stringtunes -- A Very Beginning Solo (or Unison) Songbook: Violin, Book & CD

Compiled from melodies Samuel Applebaum used to teach his students to play their instruments. The melodies are arranged in progressive order from the first three notes students learn to the end of level one in most method books. These melodies may be played as solos or in unison with other string instruments. Michael Katz has produced the accompaniment recording (in traditional, jazz, and rock styles) to motivate students to practice and perform for friends and family.

Stringtunes -- A Very Beginning Solo (or Unison) Songbook: Viola, Book & CD

First Position Etudes for Strings is written for the second year string class or string orchestra. The etudes are to be started when the string group reaches Page 10 in Volume I of the String Builder. They may, however, be used in conjunction with any standard string class method, as this book is a complete unit in itself and may be used separately for class or individual instruction. The string parts are played in unison with piano accompaniment. Each etude is interesting and has its specific technical value for the left hand and for the bow arm. Published for violin, viola, cello, bass, piano accompaniment, and teacher's manual.

The Way They Play

String Festival Solos are economical collections of transcriptions by Samuel Applebaum. In two volumes for each instrument, the solos are in progressive order of difficulty. Each volume contains nine pieces -- all classic titles in the Applebaum teaching repertoire. Some of these have been hard to find. Volume I progresses from Level 1 to Level 2, Volume II progresses from Level 2 to Level 3. The solos are useful for teaching technique, dynamics, phrasing, and overall musicianship. String Festival Solos are excellent for recitals, auditions and performances for assemblies, concerts or festivals. Titles: * In May (Behr) * The Blue Danube Waltz (Strauss) * Smooth Sailing (Konrad) * Kiss Me Again (Herbert) * The Space Waltz (Streabbog) * Dance of the Clowns (Beyer) * Hobgoblin Dance (Biehl) * Carnival (Couperin) * Polka (Dancla)

The Orchestral Bowing Etudes contain the important contemporary orchestral and chamber music bowings which are indispensable for the development of a string player. These etudes are to be studied when the pupil reaches String Builder, Book III. They may, however, be used in conjunction with any standard string class method, as this book is a complete unit in itself and may be used separately for class or individual instruction. Available for violin, viola, cello, bass, piano accompaniment, and teacher's manual.
