Things to consider
Start by identifying your ensemble's current level and instrumentation. If you're introducing the String Explorer series, begin with Book 1 and pair it with a conductor score or arrangement to balance method work with performance repertoire. For concert programming, Meyer's pieces offer short, engaging works that sound polished at Grade 1 and Grade 2, making them reliable choices for younger groups or parents unfamiliar with classical music.
