New Directions for Strings – Piano Accompaniments Book 2 (+CD)

The Book 2 Piano Accompaniments book from New Directions for Strings presents piano accompaniments for applicable pieces and exercises from the instrumental books. The Piano accompaniments can provide helpful guidance for teaching beginning string players. The format includes a cue line to provide the teacher or pianist with a visual guide of the student melody part. New Directions for Strings represents the first method ever written by a team of pedagogues representing each of the four stringed instruments. With more than 100 years of combined teaching experience, the authors of New Directions® for Strings explore many new directions, including equal integration of all the instruments, a tetrachord-based approach to support proper development of the left hand, and ensemble opportunities that occur throughout the book.
