About Carl Fischer Beginning String Orchestra Series

This series of Grade 1 pieces is designed for first year string groups. The pieces in this series are characterized by:

  • Limited keys and rhythms - only simple 8th note patterns
  • Limited independence of parts
  • Playable after limited study time
  • First position and natural bowings
  • Piano for rehearsal and reinforcement
