An excellent method for string classroom instruction, the Etling String Class Method provides teachers with a flexible format that can be customized to suit a class of any size or ability. Daily drills, solos, intonation, bow stroke, counting, rhythm and hand position are emphasized and can be taught before, after, or along with note reading.

This series of workbooks for beginning and intermediate players is designed to save rehearsal time by keeping classroom explanation to a minimum. Published in separate books for each of the stringed instruments, the take-home assignments stress the names of notes, finger patterns, scales, key signatures, terms and symbols, and other information necessary to prepare the string player thoroughly for orchestra participation.

The volume includes a general introduction, instruction for the individual exercises, a general index and an index of musical examples.
