Music Theory for the Successful String
Musician, Book 2—Christopher R. Shelby.
The music theory and history curriculum
string programs have been waiting for!
Two carefully crafted books present a
comprehensive and pedagogically sound
sequence specifically for orchestral string
students. They address common questions
and offer guidance in resolving problems
unique to the orchestra classroom. This
curriculum will help directors teach music
theory, music literacy, music history,
and creativity - all of those hard-to-reach
standards that ultimately help music
students become more well-rounded and
better performers, creators, and consumers
of great music. Students will learn: Tonal
literacy. Fingerboard maps and diagrams
teach students how all sharp, flat, and
natural notes on the staff relate to the
spaces on the fingerboard. Sequential
lessons introduce students to minor and
major seconds and the effects that key
signatures and accidentals have on finger
patterns. Students also learn about thirds,
tetrachords, and key signatures for all major
and minor scales. Rhythmic literacy. The
rhythm units teach students how to mark
their music so they can perform rhythms
independently, correctly, and confidently.
Students will learn to read and decipher
complex dotted, tied, and syncopated
rhythms, as well as the longer notes and
rests that are common in orchestra music.
Historical awareness. Students will learn
the evolution of string instruments and how
string music has evolved over the past four
centuries. They will learn about some of the
great composers and musical genres from
the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and
Modern eras. Creative activities. Creativity
units teach students how to write down
their ideas while also encouraging them to
break free from written notation and focus
on the enjoyment of making their own music
with friends. These units give students
opportunities to contribute their own ideas
to the ever-evolving field of string music.
