Smoke gets in your Eyes

A great jazz ballard for introducing 2nd position, legato bowing and expressive playing, with an interesting key change in the middle.

If I were a Rich Man (Fiddler on the Roof)

Fantastic, well-known tune with simple position changes up to and including 4th position. Also with chromatic passages, accidentals to read and expressive bowing.

Other good arrangements are available in this book, Grades 2-5

Start the Show

A useful introduction to 12-4 finger pattern, this popular piece also features different bow lengths and dynamics.

The Lambeth Walk

This is a good arrangement of the well known tune using some fairly complex rhythms.

Some notes are out of first position.
