Announcing the publication of two new additions to the popular Bags of series by the UK’s leading string pedagogue Mary Cohen. Bags Of Fun are packed with imaginative pieces for absolute beginners on the violin or cello: try chattering with skeletons, making a gate creak, admiring an octopus trampolining and watching frogs doing high jump!
Both books are gently progressive yet always entertaining, with plenty of material on the open strings and a gradual introduction of first and second for violin or first and third fingers for cello. Ideal for consolidation alongside any tutor, for sight-reading practice – or just for fun!
Beginner string players might also like try Bags of Style, a fantastic musical journey through ten centuries of time, starting in the 12th century with an energetic stamping dance, and arriving at the 21st century for a ‘game of chance’ sequence that you can alter simply by tossing a coin. Also for the beginner is Bags of Tunes which is packed with material on styles children will love including nursery rhymes, rounds, folk and popular songs as well as plenty of original pieces, all gently progressive and based around the first finger pattern.
All these publications, and more, feature in the new String Teachers Catalogue. Request your copy by contacting marketing@fabermusic.com.
