It is called “String Masters” and I am currently trying to get distribution from bigger music publishers. And thanks to the kids for all their patience; there were no page numbers in these books! It was a year long work in progress, with lots of edits and rewrites. Believe me, there will be page numbers in the final copy! A big thanks goes to graphic artist Zena Manley for doing the art work in the book. I had a very large class to teach with rehearsals three times a week. I salute my helpers Sue Hansen, Suzanne Barilec, Sandra Jenkins, and Sean Healey; and student teachers Addison Brown and Aaron Krishnan.
