The transition for the beginner player into a string orchestra is quite a wonderful journey. In a similar vein to the earlier publication *A Dozen Dazzlers* , these works are just the thing for the beginning ensemble player. Unison, simple part and call- response writing prepare the players for the greater demands of playing in a full string orchestra. All parts have been carefully crafted for the near beginner player so that they can easily concentrate on essential ensemble skills. Pizzicato, legato, staccato and harmonics are just a few techniques that are exposed to the young player. Your students' imaginations will run wild with these attractive and evocative pieces.
