Take a Bow is the perfect intermediate step between method books and performance literature for young string players and ensembles, the set of newly composed and arranged works in Take a Bow is comprised of progressive works to help strengthen fundamental string techniques for all instruments in the classroom, small chamber groups or in individual instruction. Each piece has a line for melody and a line for harmony, making each work meaningful for individuals as well as groups - while giving teachers the flexibility to fit the needs of their ensembles. The series culminates with five string orchestra arrangements that not only add value to this collection, but complete a progressive journey for your students. Take a Bow at your next rehearsal!
