A useful piece to introduce dotted rhythms in 6/8 time. There are some slurred string crossings.
A fun way to develop confidence in the waltz idiom with a ‘lifted bow/long bow’ pattern that can be learned playing scales. There is some use of ‘low’ 2nd finger.
This is good for using the Bb major finger pattern. The lilting Calypso rhythms are repeated frequently to reinforce the pupil’s understanding.
Good for energetic bow strokes with a contrasting drone like section. Good for learning from memory.
Good for practising slurring within a 3 /4 time signature and for working on producing some beautiful tone with the bow.
