What Is String
Explorer?
String Explorer is a
synthesis of the best pedagogy of the past aimed at the future and forged
from the authors' combined total of over 75 years in the classroom.
Designed with the teacher in mind, the series includes all materials needed
for the classroom with cross-references between them so they are easy to
access. Designed with the student in mind, String Explorer has the fun and information-packed look
of a web page. Characters lead the way through the book and point out all
the information that a teacher or student will need to know for each unit!
Skills are presented sequentially and never more than one at a time.
Correlated performance music and related materials are also part of the
overall vision of String Explorer.
