String Quartet no. 2 pushes the limits of polytonality and extended harmonies. This three movement work would be comparable to the Bartok quartets, although quite different. Tonality is pushed to its limits through the use of 2 or more harmonies played simultaneously. This is a highly rhythmic string quartet based off the composer's percussion background. Duration: 14 minutes

Fun arrangements of folk music and original duets in classical and jazz styles can be played by complete beginners on the violin, along with a teacher or parent.

This book of varied and interesting duets will be a great addition to a pupil's first books on violin playing. Written by a teacher with many years' experience of teaching individuals and groups and conducting small ensembles and beginners' orchestras.
