THE BOLLYWOOD STRINGS PROJECT OVERVIEW:

“Bollywood Strings” offers driving grooves that break and turn to spin festive, celebratory string dances. As with the Klezmer, Celtic, and Newtown Peace Anthem Flexi-scores (Flexi-Scores: What are they? What can they do for my string program?), there is a Junior (MS) version and a Senior (HS) version. Each score can be performed as a stand-alone, and they interlock for an all-level school performance or county festival. The Junior and Senior electric violin parts interlock as well (or the Senior version can be performed by a HS student or area professional with your MS orchestra or visa versa.)

Junior and senior electric violin parts come with the score. If your program doesn’t already have an electric instrument, a premiere electric violin is available through the NS Design Loaner Program. **The electric violin junior and senior parts can also be played acoustically or into a mic by one or more students to create a richer acoustic or electric tapestry.
