The Book 2 Piano Accompaniments book from New Directions for Strings
presents piano accompaniments for applicable pieces and exercises from
the instrumental books. The Piano accompaniments can provide helpful
guidance for teaching beginning string players. The format includes a
cue line to provide the teacher or pianist with a visual guide of the
student melody part. New Directions for Strings represents the first
method ever written by a team of pedagogues representing each of the
four stringed instruments. With more than 100 years of combined teaching
experience, the authors of New Directions® for Strings explore many new
directions, including equal integration of all the instruments, a
tetrachord-based approach to support proper development of the left
hand, and ensemble opportunities that occur throughout the book.
