Orchestra Expressions™ provides music educators at all levels with easy-to-use, exciting tools to meet daily classroom challenges and bring new vibrancy and depth to teaching music. The lessons were written based on the National Standards for the Arts in Music — not retro-fitted to the Standards. The program is music literacy-based and satisfies reading and writing mandates in orchestra class. The pedagogy involves a “four-fingers-down” start for every instrument, separate but simultaneous development of both hands, and beginning the bass in III position to develop early shifting.
Each student book features an attractive full-color interior with easy-to-read notes and includes:
-A 59-track accompaniment CD that covers Units 1-15 (a second CD covering Units 16-33 is available separately, individually as item 00-EMCO2006CD or in a 25-pack as item 00-EMCO2007CD)
-Historical notes on some of the most notable composers of orchestral music
-A thorough glossary of musical terms
-Scales and warm-up exercises
Future reprints may be printed with black and white interiors.
