Summy-Birchard Learning Together for Viola (Book/CD)

Part of the Learning Together Series, Learning Together for Viola consists of a sequential unison repertoire for orchestral string instruments and is intended for use in string classes, group ensembles, and private lesson settings where having all musicians playing the same part is a more efficient method. Harmony parts and bass lines complete the arrangements and are composed so that any mixed string ensemble, or viola ensembles, can perform the pieces included in each of the Learning Together series.

Piano accompaniments are included and can be added to any of these combinations. Use Learning Together for Viola for solo viola performance or unison groups, class ensembles, and district or festival-sized orchestras.

The Learning Together repertoire can be used to establish solo technique for violists, introduce ensemble skills, develop aural skills, and can serve as a foundation for learning to read music. Each instrument book comes with a CD that includes solo performances, string ensemble performances, and piano accompaniment tracks of the featured repertoire.
