Newly Revised:

Flip-Flop Melodies, Volumes I and II, include familiar tunes written for beginning to intermediate young students to enjoy playing together. The violin and cello take turns flip-flopping the melody back and forth, with cello keys being used.

Harmonious Melodies, Volume I, includes lots of intermediate tunes and needs the cellist to be a fairly solid reader. Violin keys are used. These familiar tunes could be played in many different settings, including group classes.

Harmonious Melodies, Volume II, is the most ADVANCED book in this Series and can definitely be used for professional gigs.

NEW!

Cell Phone Symphony For Four Violins

I hope you will enjoy the rich, classical style and form I have brought into our modern day culture! Cell Phone Symphony is my first original piece of music and has three movements, lasting approximately five minutes in its entirety.

The names of the movements are: #1 — Wonderful, Wireless Waves, #2 — Electronic Friends ’til the End and #3 — “Texting, Anyone?” Lyrics to all three movements are available upon request; just text me at 678.612.5555.

Melodies are upbeat and harmonies are contemporary (added 6th’s, tone clusters). Players must be technically secure in both left-hand and bowing versatility. The level of difficulty is perhaps Suzuki Book 6 level or students playing the Handel Sonatas or the Accolay or Bach A Minor Concerti. Great recital showstopper for advanced students or professionals!

American Melodies For Four Violins

American Melodies For Four Violins is a charming medley arrangement that contains three well-known American tunes — O, Susannah, She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain and Old MacDonald. The length of this arrangement is approximately four minutes in its entirety.

Harmonies are contemporary-sounding (added 6th’s, tone clusters), with styles ranging from lyrical to brilliantly virtuosic. Players must be technically secure as positions are quite high at times, with frequent style and tempo changes abounding. The level of difficulty is for students playing perhaps Suzuki Book 7 or the Bach A Minor Concerto, studying etudes and scales. Great recital showstopper for advanced students or professionals!

(1) DUETS CUBED — Duets to the 3rd Power has three levels of difficulty for the second violinist: easy, medium and hard. The second book, containing identical notes and called the Tradeoff version for short, is for more advanced players and trades off the melody and harmony parts.

(2) DOUBLE STOP SOLOS and DUETS — There are two levels of difficulty for this Series. In each volume, a student plays a duet first with their teacher and then goes immediately to the double stop solo containing identical notes from the duet. Volume I is for students who have never played double stops while Volume II is quite advanced.

(3) FOUR VIOLINS — There are two verses for each Christmas Carol, a contemporary sounding harmony followed by a classical harmony, which provides a nice contrast and sufficient length for various Christmas music programs. The level of difficulty is intermediate.
