The study of string instruments should include ensemble playing at the earliest possible stage. Much can be gained by playing duets. Each player can learn from the other, and develop an awareness of balance, musical phrasing, intonation and tonal quality. These duets can be used in string classes as a supplement to any standard string method. They are perfect for recitals, school functions, and just for fun and practice. They may be played by two players, or by multiple performers on each part, with or without piano accompaniment. The selections of folk tunes and classics are chosen for their beauty and technical value. They may be performed by two like instruments or any duet combination.
 
This is "Volume 2" of the series. It deals with first position. The basic bowings are continued in various rhythms.
