The string ensemble series meets all standards for ASTA (American String Teachers Association) and Suzuki Association of the Americas, Inc. Available in the series are Christmas Strings: Violin 1 & 2 with Piano Accompaniment, Christmas Strings: Viola, Violin 3 & Ensemble Score and Christmas Strings: Cello & Bass with Piano Accompaniment.
If performed with full orchestra, no solo parts should be played except the 1st violin part. Note also, if you wish to perform these works with full orchestra and you are short certain instruments, you still have some flexibility with the score. For example, if there are not enough violas for balance, the viola (harmony part) and 3rd violin part are identical. The part may be played with all 3rd violins or equally divided between 3rd violins and violas. A separate 24-page pull-out part for violin 1 & 2 with piano accompaniment.

Christmas Carols - Easy arrangements for 2 or 3 cellos
The arrangements were conceived for pupils already past at least the very beginning stages of playing, their musical demands make them enjoyable also to older, intermediate-level players. Their playing-range encompasses all four strings of the cello from the top to the bottom of the first position. Care must be taken to keep the melody always in the forefront, changing, as it does, from part to part.
Then when each pupil has learned his or her part, back to the beginning, exchange parts - then the fun begins again!
