String Time Starters, teachers book; Kathy and David Blackwell (Oxford University Press)

String Time Starters is an exciting new ensemble collection for beginner strings from the authors of the award-winning Fiddle Time series. A prequel to String Time Joggers, this collection provides inventive and enjoyable ensemble repertoire for groups of all sizes.

• Pupil books for violin, viola, cello, and double bass with lively illustrations
• Teacher's book with score, including piano part, and a CD with performances and backing tracks for all pieces
• Full performances and backing tracks also available to download from the Companion Website
