Sound Innovations: Sound Development emphasizes playing with a
characteristic beautiful sound. The components of producing this sound
are broken into four levels, consistent with the revolutionary Sound
Innovations structure: (1) Sound Tone, (2) Sound Bowings, (3) Sound
Shifting, and (4) Sound Scales, Arpeggios, Chorales, and Rhythms. The
flexible levels can be used in the order that is best for your students,
as individual warm-ups or as structured units. Your students will learn
the proper use of the bow with the variables of tone, the next group of
bowings needed for intermediate repertoire, and how to shift and play
with vibrato. These skills are reinforced with comprehensive scales,
arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm exercises, and warm-up
chorales. Video demonstrations of key skills are referenced in the book
and can be viewed online at www.alfred.com/SoundDevelopmentVideo.
