Composer Spotlight
Richard Meyer brings 35 years of string teaching experience to a catalog of 160 titles, including Terra Nova, which teachers favor for its musical substance and pedagogical balance. He grew the orchestra program at Oak Avenue Intermediate School from 29 to 200 students and shaped the city's elementary string curriculum, giving his arrangements the practical wisdom of large-group teaching.
Carrie Lane Gruselle holds degrees in music education and Suzuki pedagogy from the University of Wisconsin system and currently teaches elementary and middle strings in the Appleton Area School District. Her 109 titles include The Rite of Spring, a popular choice at this level, and reflect her training in both traditional and Suzuki methodologies.
Bob Phillips is recognized as an innovator in string education and large-group pedagogy, with over 25 book series to his name, including all six levels of Sound Innovations. His 108 pieces in this collection benefit from his decades developing eclectic styles for student ensembles and are performed by thousands of young musicians annually.
Bob Cerulli studied at the Curtis Institute and brings professional orchestra experience as principal bassist with several symphonies. His 93 titles for this level combine technical craft with an understanding of what engages student musicians, as evidenced by the popularity of his orchestral arrangements like The Lord of the Rings.
