The highlight of our music for string orchestra is the careful grading system we use to help directors choose music that fits their students' needs, from elementary to high school levels. Each of our five series levels contain specific difficulty criteria that directors can trust when selecting music.

What sets the Carl Fischer Music catalog apart is our director resources. Online are free full-length MP3s and sample PDF scores of each piece. Directors can review the sheet music and listen to the entire piece on their computer or download the recordings to an MP3 player to help make purchasing decisions, as well as utilize the recordings with their students.
