String Time Joggers: 14 pieces for flexible ensemble (String Time Ensembles)

Not sure why I have been asked to review this item that I ordered on 7th November as I have still not received it yet!! - any ideas as to where it may be?

Cette méthode est vraiment excellente. Par de petits morceaux simples accompagnés d'un CD, l'enfant découvre et apprend le violoncelle progressivement. Dans ce volume, c'est pour jouer à plusieurs, mais l'enfant peut apprendre et répéter seul sans aucun soucis.

I have a violin and cello group for 7 - 9 year olds and we love this book. They can generally start playing the easier part after only one term of lessons and the harder parts are about Grade 1 standard. Even the ones that are getting near Grade 2 enjoy the music, so everyone is happy. The tunes are fun, incorporating different styles. and are worth playing. I also like the fact that the pieces are several minutes long. This makes them work well in concert rather than short pieces of 16 bars or so. I don't normally write reviews but because I have found this book so successful, I thought I'd give it a plug. The piano accompaniments are good, too, and most of them are easy enough for a basher like me to get through. The CD is a great back up and the speeds on it seem ok for my crowd of young string players. Usually, I have to adapt popular tunes for my group but this book has been a godsend.

Fabulous
