Yasuda, Martha - Flip-Flop Melodies For Cello and Violin, Volume I, 2nd Edition - Digital Download

Enjoy the rich, deep sounds of the cello and the brilliant, sparkling violin together! Martha Yasuda, Arranger for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, has created a very novel book of duos where the melody begins in verse one with the cello and in verse two, it “Flip-Flops” over to the violin.

Twenty familiar folk and classical melodies are included for young sibs or best friend string buddies to enjoy playing together! A viola part, identical to the violin part, is also included. Keys chosen are those used by the cello and viola, with the violin playing "down a string," transposed down a fifth.

Beginning melodies are really easy — I’m a Little Monkey, Hot Cross Buns, Scotland’s Burning — progressing to Bach Minuets, Rigadoon and March in G. Harmony parts are for beginning readers, progressing a bit further by the end. There is no shifting.
