Description
Sound Innovations para Orquesta de cuerdas, Libro 1, Segunda edición, es el método para estudiantes principiantes de cuerdas más completo y elaborado con una reflexión pedagógica sin igual. Creado con la colaboración de miles de docentes, presenta un diseño de páginas limpio y fácil de seguir, así como un avance progresivo y ordenado en el desarrollo de habilidades. Cada ejercicio cuenta con objetivos claros, refuerzo constante de los nuevos conceptos, oportunidades de interpretación, una amplia variedad de estilos musicales y recursos pedagógicos innovadores para el aula y la práctica individual. Las cabezas de nota no incluyen el nombre de la nota, favoreciendo así el desarrollo acelerado de la lectura musical. El libro se estructura en seis niveles concisos que ofrecen criterios de avance, pautas de evaluación y metas intermedias para guiar a estudiantes y docentes en cada etapa del aprendizaje.

Cada libro incluye acceso gratuito a SI Online, una plataforma robusta con hojas de trabajo, pistas de práctica, melodías alternativas, piezas adicionales para orquesta de cuerdas, videos instructivos por instrumento y mucho más---todo disponible sin necesidad de iniciar sesión. Las pistas de acompañamiento pueden ralentizarse, acelerarse y configurarse en modo de repetición para trabajar los pasajes más difíciles. Los archivos PDF incluyen teoría musical, historia, ejercicios de escalas, páginas de ritmos, piezas de técnica y más para el refuerzo y la personalización del aprendizaje en el aula o en casa. Estos recursos acompañan al estudiante desde sus primeras notas hasta su interpretación final, mientras que ofrecen al docente la facilidad de adaptar el ritmo y la instrucción a las necesidades particulares de su ensamble. Por el momento, los recursos de SI Online están disponibles únicamente en inglés. Si bien este contenido digital constituye un recurso valioso para este método, los videos y materiales adicionales aún no han sido traducidos al español.

El Libro 1, Segunda edición, está disponible de forma gratuita en MakeMusic Cloud, una herramienta interactiva de práctica que motiva a tus estudiantes y simplifica la evaluación. Además, con una suscripción de pago se puede acceder a SI CenterStage---con un repertorio de melodías populares para todos los instrumentos, ¡desde canciones de Disney hasta grandes éxitos del pop!

About the Authors

Bob Phillips
Bob Phillips, born in 1953, stands out as a leading voice in string education through his work as an author, composer, conductor, and teacher trainer. He has built his reputation on innovative approaches to large group pedagogy and on expanding the stylistic range available to string musicians through eclectic music.

Phillips has authored more than 25 book series for classroom use, including all six levels of Sound Innovations and pioneering eclectic styles collections such as Fiddlers Philharmonic, Jazz Philharmonic, Rock Philharmonic, Mariachi Philharmonic, Latin Philharmonic, and Fiddle and Song. Over 200 of his orchestral and band compositions have been published, and he is an award-winning ASCAP composer whose works are frequently performed at the Midwest Clinic. His instructional DVD series, String Clinics to Go, has found its way into thousands of music classrooms.

During his 27 years directing strings in Saline, Michigan, Phillips developed a program of over 700 students recognized nationally for excellence in both classical and eclectic music. He founded the Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic, which gained international prominence under his direction while performing more than 80 shows annually and appearing at the White House and the Midwest Clinic. Phillips has conducted extensively, serving as assistant music director and arranger for the professional ensemble Barrage 8 and conducting youth orchestras, all-state honors ensembles, and camps including Interlochen, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, and multiple state orchestras. He spent 12 years as resident conductor and arranger for the Wintergrass Festival in Seattle.
Peter Boonshaft
Peter Loel Boonshaft stands out as one of today's most dynamic voices in music education. He serves as Director of Education for Jupiter Band Instruments and maintains an active presence as a speaker and conductor throughout the United States and internationally. His weekly "Boonshaft's Blog" reaches music educators across the country with inspiration and practical insights for their classrooms.

Recognition of his contributions has come from numerous prestigious sources. The National Association for Music Education and Music For All presented him with the inaugural George M. Parks Award for Leadership in Music Education. He holds memberships in Pi Kappa Lambda and Alpha Chi honor societies and has received the University of Hartford's Regent's Award twice, along with that institution's Outstanding Music Educator Award. Additional honors include three selections as a National Endowment for the Arts Artist in Residence, three Honorary Life Memberships in the Tri-M Music Honor Society, and the Al G. Wright Award of Distinction from Women Band Directors International. His accomplishments have been recognized by five state governors through official proclamations, and he has performed for multiple U.S. presidents and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom.

As Professor Emeritus of Music at Hofstra University, Boonshaft previously taught at Moravian College and the University of Hartford. He founded and directed both the Pennsylvania Youth Honors Concert Band and the Connecticut Valley Youth Wind Ensemble. His academic credentials include a Bachelor of Music (Summa Cum Laude), a Master of Music Education in Conducting, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree, supplemented by a Certificate from the Kodály Musical Training Institute.
Robert Sheldon
Robert Sheldon stands among today's most frequently performed composers of wind band music. He serves as lead author of Sound Innovations for Concert Band, the widely adopted educational series. His works have earned him recognition from prestigious organizations including the American School Band Director's Association, Phi Beta Mu, and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Sheldon's compositions connect deeply with performers and listeners, with his music performed internationally and featured regularly on concert and contest programs.

Sheldon maintains an active schedule accepting commissions and producing new publications for concert band annually. He frequently appears as a guest conductor for All-State and Regional Honor Bands, while also serving as a clinician at colleges, universities, and state music education conferences. His conducting and teaching work have taken him throughout the United States and internationally to Japan, Canada, Italy, Germany, Australia, and China. He has led performances of his compositions at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Orchestra Hall, Symphony Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

In July 2020, VanderCook College of Music awarded Sheldon an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contributions to music education and composition.

Why we love this

This method's clean page design and transparent pedagogical progression make it accessible for both new and experienced string teachers. The six-level structure provides clear benchmarks for advancement, removing guesswork about when students are ready to move forward. Pair it with SI Online's accompaniment tracks (adjustable tempo, loopable passages) and supplementary materials, and you have a self-contained program that grows with your ensemble.

What to expect

Transparent and purposeful. Each exercise has a specific aim, and students see exactly why they're working on a particular skill before moving to the next. The omission of note names on the staff cultivates faster, more confident reading.

Who it's for

Beginning string orchestra violists in middle or early high school who need a structured, progressive method. Teachers establishing a string program or strengthening fundamentals in an existing ensemble will find the clear objectives and evaluation criteria especially useful.

How to get the most out of it

  • Take advantage of the practice tracks on SI Online by slowing them down during early rehearsals; this allows violists to lock into intonation and rhythm without feeling rushed.
  • Use the PDF reinforcement materials (scales, rhythms, technique exercises) as targeted homework matching each lesson's focus rather than as generic drills.
  • Leverage the alternative melodies and additional string orchestra pieces to rotate parts and give every student opportunities to play both primary lines and accompaniment figures.

How to use it

Use this as your core method book across the first year or eighteen months of string instruction, following its six levels as your advancement sequence. Supplement each chapter's repertoire with the additional string orchestra pieces from SI Online to build ensemble sound and part-writing awareness without stepping outside the pedagogical scope.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading treble clef and understanding viola clef transposition
  • Rhythmic accuracy in simple and compound meters
  • Bow control and tone production on open strings and lower positions
  • Intonation through interval and chord awareness
  • Ensemble listening and balance within string textures
  • Music theory concepts tied directly to repertoire
