"In The Mix - Volume 1", is the first album in a series of multi-platform, (Strings, Woodwind and Brass), original compositions, consisting of sheet music with backing tracks. These original compositions are in different styles, varying from classical, film music, video game music and trance to name a few and vary in standard from beginner to grade 5 ABRSM standard. The album consists of pdf downloads of all the parts for the specific instrument purchased, as well as the 10 backing tracks and a bonus 10 tracks of the pieces performed with a cello guide. In addition to this, there are Piano Accompaniments for each piece for acoustic performance too.
The Absolute Beginners series now opens up 'In The Mix' to String players to be, as well as players that have just started plucking their first strings. How better than to inspire a child or pupil, than to play along to Epic backing tracks, all with incredibly simple letter name notation.
The pieces are all in different styles, from video game sounds to dance music and use really simple letter name notation, as well as simple scored notation, so that anyone can play, from age 1 to 100!
They are suitable for Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.
There are various instructions on the sheet music, including information like how many beats to count before coming in and other technical skills you need, but the main thing about these pieces is having fun!
