I created an accompaniment track from Dale Brubaker's "Concert Tunes for Beginning Strings" beginning orchestra piece. I am making the accompaniment track available to other teachers and am not claiming the original piece was created by me. I chose marimba so students can play either staccato or pizzicato. The accompaniment track, which I made with Audacity/Finale (RIP Finale d.2024) and I'm sharing, is mine and I am sharing it as a resource for other teachers. This is not an opportunity to buy

An original piece for beginning string orchestra. The piece uses quarter note, half notes, and half rests as well as open strings, 1, and low 2 on the D and A string. If you use the Bornoff approach, this piece can be performed at a December or March concert. If you use Essential Elements, this piece coincides with pages 32-33 (introducing F-natural and C-natural).

Self-checking note reading practice for open strings. As students complete the maze, they encounter 12 note reading challenges. As they choose their answer, they unlock which direction to leave each "clearing" in the maze. If they choose the wrong answer, they'll only find dead ends and they'll need to go back and double check the answer. ----- As a traveling music teacher with a $0 yearly budget, I understand that sometimes we simply don't have the money/donations to buy new music which is why
