A beautiful melody (and lovely accompaniment ) to help develop a singing tone and with the potential to introduce speed changes (ritenuto) and a wide dynamic range. Requires some use of ‘low’ 2nd finger. Would suit a pupil who is developing fast musically. Also published by Faber in First Repertoire for Violin.
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.
A lively piece requiring an energetically rhythmic mix of crotchet and quaver patterns. It has a contrasting more legato section with some slurs
