The ensemble music, implemented from the very first instrument courses, allows the student to become better acquainted with 'technical' elements such as rhythm, bowing and intonation. These small pieces for violins only can be prepared within the class, without the need to add external elements.The first 20 pieces require the same level of study for each component of the ensemble; nos. from no. 21 to no. 24 involve a more experienced violinist alongside one who plays only empty strings; from no. 25 to no. 32 there are pages of various kinds.Duets and trios mostly follow a traditional language: only some of them introduce a sparing use of dissonance. In any case, the score printing helps the control - visual also - of the other parts.

2 x 4 little duets on 8 strings Frank Michael's duets are conceived for young as well as older beginning students. Both cycles are designed with contrasting sounds and can essentially be played in the first position. The pieces specifically call for techniques that are uncommon among beginners, such as pizzicato, glissando, col legno battuto and harmonics. The String Games are very easy and perfectly suited to children. The closing cycle On 8 Strings was written shortly before the other pieces and is intended to give students the experience of having fun with acrobatics, enjoying all kinds of sonorities, including 'forbidden' ones, making a more unusual use of the instrument, and to combine this with clear forms, melodies and rhythms. All eight little pieces are ideal for recitals. The book also contains special suggestions for practice and improvisation; working them out will enhance the interpretation of the pieces. The enclosed CD is intended as an aid for practicing at home.Michael's duets are conceived for young as well as older beginning students and can be played in the first position.

Albert Robert Mueller (Muller) was a German trombonist born in 1849. He initially received violin lessons and discovered his talent for trombone playing at the age of twelve. He eventually settled in Leipzig and became a member of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra as well as a teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Music. He wrote the School for Trombone in 1902. (Wikipedia) The School for Trombone (part of our Vintage Brass Series, not to be confused with the Technical Etudes) is a very detailed and comprehensive book in three volumes totalling 208 pages, the text being divided into German, English and Russian languages. * Volume I includes detailed lessons on music theory including all scales and keys, rhythm, time signatures, rests, accents, accidentals, explanations of tempo markings, dynamics, posture, tone, a table of positions and notes. The lessons go through different keys starting very slowly and methodically with short exercises....not going too fast for the beginning student. Along the way Mueller inserts easy duets to perform with teacher and student, including many Bach chorales, etc. to get tuning and tone solidified. * Volume II for the intermediate level student, begins with the first studies of slurs and legato. He introduces simple songs and famous melodies including more duets. The exercises get progressively more difficult and include the entire collection of ornaments. * Volume III, for the more advanced student, introduces tenor and alto clefs in scales and studies including more duets. Compiled by Gordon Cherry.
