Class Band & Strings Class together

Is it possible to play together? A Strings Class is based on sharp keys like A, D, E, and Class Band
is based ob Bb key.
In the very beginning there are limited
notes which can be played together.
There are no pieces known to me for
Class Band and Strings Class together
so I decided to write myself possible pie-
ces which can be performed after some
time.
If there is a Class Band and Strings Class
in one school (as the project in Berg-
schenhoek (NL) as mentioned before, it
must be great if the students can per-
form all together.
A example: on the next page. The pie-
ces are following the Essential Elements
books and it must be playable when re-
ached a certain page in the books. Very
basic music and with many restrictions
to what is possible. We try to avoid mo-
dern music where a F# is sounding to-
gether with a F or likewise. I will also try
to make suitable exercises for both sys-
tems based on the exercises in the books.
A Strings Class Part for e.g. exercise 15 in
the Class Band book and a Class Band
part for e.g. exercise 20 in the Strings
Class book. Working together!
The goal is of course to realise a real
symphonic orchestra in the future!
