A Dozen Dazzlers By Stephen Chin

For beginner players, joining a string orchestra can be a daunting experience. These little gems, however, are specifically designed to help make the transition smoother. The pieces are written in unison, with simple parts and call-response writing that prepares players for the more complex demands of playing in a full-string orchestra. 

The pieces also expose young players to a wide range of techniques, including pizzicato, legato, staccato, and harmonics. These techniques are essential for developing a solid foundation in string playing and will help students to develop their skills and confidence.

Your students will be eager to play their favourite Dazzler pieces repeatedly, each time discovering new nuances and subtleties in the music. With the downloadable recorded accompaniments, they can practice and perform at their own pace, with both practice and performance speeds available.

These pieces are an excellent resource for teachers looking to help their students leap from solo playing to joining a string orchestra.
