Sound Innovations: Sound Development
for Intermediate String Orchestra
(Warm-Up Exercises for Tone and
Technique)—Kirk Moss & Bob Phillips.
Sound Development emphasizes playing with a
characteristic beautiful sound. The components
of producing this sound are broken into four
levels, consistent with the revolutionary Sound
Innovations structure: sound tone, sound
bowings, sound shifting, and sound scales,
arpeggios, chorales, and rhythms. The levels
can be used in the order that is best for your
students, as individual warm-ups or as structured
units. Your students will learn the proper use of
the bow with the variables of tone, the next group
of bowings needed for intermediate repertoire,
and how to shift and play with vibrato. These
skills are reinforced with comprehensive scales,
arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm
exercises, and warm-up chorales.

String Basics, Book 1 (Steps to
Success for String Orchestra)—
Terry Shade & Jeremy Woolstenhulme.
String Basics is a comprehensive method for
beginning string classes. Through technical
exercises, world music, classical themes, and
original compositions, students will learn to
play their stringed instruments in an orchestra.
Step-by-step sequences of instruction will
prove invaluable as students learn to hold their
instruments and bows, find new notes, count
different rhythms, read music notation, and
more. Clear, full-color photographs and fingering
chart diagrams introduce playing positions, bow
holding and bowing, and left-hand finger patterns.
Duets, rounds, trios, and orchestra arrangements
develop students' ability to play in an ensemble
setting right away, strengthening ear training
and intonation. The "Interactive Practice Studio"
is a unique downloadable resource containing
a wealth of supporting materials. Also available
to teachers is the "Interactive Teacher's Studio,"
with even more helpful tips and strategies.
