Stringstastic Level 1 - Double Bass

The ensemble series provides students (ages 6-11) with a solid foundation in music theory through the eyes of a violin, viola, cello, and double bass player.

This series is designed so that they can be used hand in hand with each other in a beginner ensemble or group lesson.

These interactive books use a variation of different methods (traditional, Suzuki, Kodaly, Orff, etc) which allows the students to decide which method best suits the lesson. They also contain a combination of fun, friendly characters (as well as exciting written exercises) that help and capture the interest of the students to learn in an enjoyable way.
