Things First S’More is a collection of traditional folk songs, classical
themes and rounds representing cultures and styles from around the world.
As the second volume in this series, it is slightly more advanced than
First Things First. The compositions are arranged to be extremely versatile
in meeting the needs of younger beginners in an elementary level string
orchestra. Accidentals rather than key signatures are used in the student
parts to assist young players with note reading. Each instrument part book
includes a melody line as well as an additional harmony line. With the
addition of the piano, any size string class can successfully perform these
selections. By using all the parts together, a complete string orchestra
is achieved. First Things First and First Things
First S’More can be
used with any beginning string method.
