Exploring a wide range of musical styles as well as many interesting string effects (including simple harmonics, col legno, pizzicato and tremolo), and containing invaluable rehearsal tip throughout, these imaginative pieces will give string players the opportunity to discover the joys of ensemble playing right from the early stages of learning.
